San Marino GP: Red Bull Sunday qualifying notes

Comments from the Red Bull drivers after Sunday qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix

David Coulthard:

"The lap started very badly. I lost the back end into turn one so I was all over the kerbs. I managed to pick up around the rest of the lap, but ultimately it wouldn't have made a big difference in terms of where we qualified."

"The others are ahead on pace and we were 0.6 of a second down on Villeneuve, so it's just a question now of what luck we have in the race in terms of other people dropping out, otherwise it's probably going to be quite a quiet one."

"Being out on the track early was more of a disadvantage than in other sessions, because it was wet at the start and absolutely dry at the end - but that's the price you pay for being slow in the first session."

Tonio Liuzzi:

"Yesterday, I had the disadvantage of being first man out on track when the conditions were at their worst. So, at least today I got a decent lap and I am happy with my performance."

"I'm very excited to start my first ever Formula 1 race this afternoon. It will be much longer than any race I have done in the past, so it will be interesting to see how I cope with that side of things."
