F1. GP de Turquía 2008, Calificación - Red Bull. Mark Webber y David Coulthard entre los diez primeros
Mayo 10, 2008 – 12:37 pm | by admin |
El equipo Red Bull hoy ha conseguido colocar sus dos coches en la Q3, Mark Webber en la 6 ª Posición que ha encontrado la parte negativa: “ El único aspecto negativo del resultado de hoy es que estamos en el lado izquierdo de la parrilla, pero, aparte de eso, fue muy bien.” Se muestra confiado en puntuar en la carrera de mañana.
David Coulthard, partirá desde la décima posición y ha confesado que el motivo de salir tan tarde es que querían ahorrar combustible con lo que el coche estaba muy pesado, pero en cambio mañana la estrategia les puede compensar.
Car 10 MARK WEBBER, Position 6th
“It’s good to get P6 today, after letting the team down yesterday with a bit of a shunt. The only downside of today’s result is that we’re on the left-hand side of the grid, but, apart from that, it went very well. We’re in reasonable shape to get some good points tomorrow, we’ll just have
to keep our nose clean and have good clean pit stops. It’s going to be an interesting race, the team has done a great job today – to get both cars into Q3 was a good effort.”
Car 9 DAVID COULTHARD, Position 10th
“I’m happy to be through to the top ten after problems at the last two grands prix. We used all our option tyres to get there though, two sets in Q1 and two sets in Q2, as I didn’t want to take any risks. As a result, we only had primes left at the end. We only did one run in Q3 as we wanted to save fuel, so the car was very heavy.”
CHRISTIAN HORNER: “A strong team performance in this morning’s practice was converted into solid grid positions this afternoon for tomorrow’s race. Mark used his head in the final session (Q3) and aborted a lap he wasn’t entirely happy with, which meant he saved a lap of fuel. He then did an excellent lap and extracted everything from the car on option tyres to get P6. David did an excellent job to get comfortably through to Q3. As he had no soft tyres left for his final run, we were always adopting a strategic game with him. It was a strong team performance.”
FABRICE LOM, Renault, Principal Engineer, Track Support: “We are very pleased with today’s result. To have both cars in the top ten is what we have been aiming for and now we have it. The Q2 times of both drivers were very good. Sixth and tenth is a good result for us, now let’s see what we can do with that tomorrow.”
