Comments from the Red Bull drivers after Friday practices for the Brazilian Grand Prix

David Coulthard:

"A normal Friday practice. Nothing to report."

Robert Doornbos:

"A pretty quiet day really. We just did one lap this morning and this afternoon our planned programme was cut short due to a suspected engine problem, which is now being investigated further. I ended up sitting on the side of the track watching the others drive - but we'll make up for it tomorrow and on Sunday. The circuit's good to drive here."

Michael Ammermuller:

"I feel a little sad as that was the last Friday test I'll do this year. I'd love to do some testing for the team next year, hopefully I'll be able to. It's great to drive here, although there are a lot of left- hand corners, which can pull on the neck quite a lot. There are also a lot of bumps in the track, often under braking, but everyone faces the same problem."
