Hungarian GP 2006 - Free Practice & Qualifying

Saturday, 5 August 2006

SORRY






Mr. M*









* We would politely request that our dear boss Mr. Mateschitz stays away from qualifying,
as every time he turns up, we don't do too well!


DAVID COULTHARD, Position 13
"The qualifying session didn't go quite as we hoped. On each run, I was going quicker and the
final lap was looking good, but unfortunately I came up behind Tiago Monteiro and lost some
time. I dropped about eight tenths of a second, so I didn't even finish it."

CHRISTIAN KLIEN, Position 14
"Luckily I was able to get through the first part of qualifying using just one set of tyres. In the
second part, I improved my time on both new sets of tyres. It was actually quite tricky to drive in
today's sessions, as the car was quite nervous. We need a good race tomorrow to make some
progress and hopefully I'll finish the race in a higher position than I did in today's qualifying."

CHRISTIAN HORNER,
"I think David was unlucky on his final lap. He looked set to improve his time, but got held up in
traffic. I think making the top ten would have been difficult today, although I think we could have
been  a  little  bit  higher  up  than  we  were.  With  the  penalties  for  Alonso,  M.  Schumacher  and
Button we will benefit a couple of positions, and we've opted for a tyre that will hopefully serve
us well in the race."
