Red Bull Duo Pay for Errors

David Coulthard and Christian Klien both rued errors on their qualifying laps for the Italian Grand Prix after admitting to not getting the best out of their cars

Coulthard will start 10th, having moved up a place thanks to Kimi Raikkonen's engine change penalty, while Klien will start from 13th on the grid.

Speaking about his lap, Coulthard said: "No big events during that lap; the balance of the car was good, but it was capable of going quicker.

"I wasn't entirely happy with my performance in qualifying and think it's fair to say that Christian wasn't either.

"I wasn't really able to feel the car enough on the warm up lap, it felt a bit numb, and so I couldn't tell how hard to push. As a result, I was a bit too conservative going into the first chicane and lost a couple of tenths by braking too early.

"It's frustrating when that happens, as once you've taken the decision, it's difficult to make up the time after. Nonetheless, I think we've got good experience of the car on this track and it's certainly possible for the team to score some points."

Klien added: "I don't think that was such great lap. I suffered with understeer in two different places, including the last corner.

"It meant I had to back off and lost some time. I think it could have been better, as overall feeling of the car is good, but a few small mistakes make all the difference."
