Confucious He Say...




"…water inside visor



means tears, water



outside visor means



RAIN!"




One of the most famous people in ancient China was a wise philosopher named
Confucius: we have with us his descendant, Confusedus.


DAVID COULTHARD, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P26
"There was a surprising amount of grip during the second session, considering the wet weather.
It's tricky when the weather's like that as the rain on the visor doesn't always correspond to the
water on the track. You think it's wetter than it actually is."

ROBERT DOORNBOS, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P27
"For sure that was a different Friday than I'm used to and a different approach to the weekend.
We followed David's programme, trying to find a good set up with the car. It looked like the rain
might mess up the session, but it actually wasn't too bad. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'll be
able to wake up and get back in the car, which is a really great feeling."

MICHAEL AMMERMÜLLER, 1st Practice P9, 2nd Practice P8
"The first session was quite difficult, as I was still learning about the car and this track is not easy
to drive. I spun in the morning, there wasn't too much grip on the track and my experience was
not so much in the car. But, the second session went a lot better. The balance of the car was
very good and I hope I did a good test for Red Bull to help the two drivers."
