Klien Confident of Gaining Places
Red Bull's Christian Klien is hoping to move forward in tomorrow's final qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix
The Red Bull team put on another promising performance following their impressive debut in Australia, with Klien finishing in tenth position despite making a mistake on his flying lap.
Klien, who scored two points in Melbourne, admitted he was not pleased with his lap but was looking forward to gaining places in the final session.
"I was really confident about qualifying but I was expecting a little bit more grip and I made a little mistake in the first corner and lost four tenths," said Klien. "The rest of the lap was quite reasonable and the car was good but overall I'm not that happy with the lap.
"We still have second qualifying tomorrow and hopefully we can gain a little time and maybe some positions then."
David Coulthard, a surprising fourth in Melbourne, wound up 11th in the second Red Bull. Coulthard, however, did not sound as positive as his teammate about his chances for tomorrow.
"We're limited in what we can do tomorrow really, we can put some more fuel and we can make an aero adjustment, maybe a little bit on pressures and that's it," said Coulthard.
"Balance has just made things difficult here. If we look at a reasonable trend on the tyres during the race then I think we can hold position but obviously not qualifying that well is not good."
