RB4 not suiting Monaco track at the moment

By on

There is still a lot of work to do for the Red Bull Racing Team. David Coulthard lost track time during the morning session as he suffered a throttle actuator problem. Team mate Mark Webber had a problem free day, but the Aussie doesn't feel satisfied after the first day in Monaco as the RB4 isn't suiting the track very well.

Mark Webber, 1st Practice P9, 2nd Practice P13: "We got through all our programme, but there is still some work to do, assuming we are looking at a dry qualifying and a dry race. At the moment the car is not suiting the track that well, but we know what we need to do to sort it out."

David Coulthard, 1st Practice P20, 2nd Practice P14: "I lost some track time this morning with a throttle actuator problem and it's never good to miss out on any track time, especially here in Monaco. It meant we had to adjust our programme for this afternoon, to make sure I got more laps in and got myself back up to speed. I think I've recovered reasonably well, but in Monaco, the time you have the most knowledge of the track is on the last of the 78 laps on Sunday afternoon. So, not the best of starts, but I think we are now in good shape for the rest of the weekend."
