Christian, a point last weekend, was that a relief?
Christian Klien: Absolutely, it was really good for me to get this point. The last time we scored a point was in Bahrain and in between there were a lot of unlucky races where we could have scored a lot more points and so it was a bit of a relief for me and the whole team.

So, do you feel more confident of staying with the team?
CK: Of course! Yes. It is looking quite good and now there are a lot of discussions about next year because we didn't get the results this year because of reliability issues on the car and being a bit unlucky at the start of some races. So, we didn't happen to get the good results together or we could have scored a lot more points and then everything would look different. But this was a bit of a release, this point in Hockenheim, and the whole race weekend actually was good. And now we try to do the same in Hungary and in Turkey and I think it is looking quite good that I continue with Red Bull next year.

Robert, the eve of your Grand Prix debut… Excitement or a little trepidation?
Robert Kubica: I mean, I knew just one hour before they announced so it was quite unexpected for me to join the team on Sunday for the race. It is a good opportunity for me, a good chance not only to run on Friday, but to see how Saturday and Sunday work, to discover a weekend of Formula One and I hope for a good weekend.

Do you think your programme is going to be more cautious than it normally is?
RK: For sure, I will run much less than normally on Friday because we have to save tyres and engine and it will be something strange for me because I am used to running a lot on Friday and this weekend I will do only a few laps.

Is it a circuit that you know?
RK: I have been here since 2001. I have raced here in Formula Renault two litres, but that was the fourth race of my career so I cannot remember everything about it.

Mark, disappointment and frustration after the German Grand Prix? It's happened so many times…
Mark Webber: Obviously it was very frustrating because everything was going pretty well. The race was coming to us in terms of strategy and also in terms of tyres performing very well and we knew the opposition were struggling at either end of their cars, depending on which team it was, but it was a great chance to get a few points, but we had a little reliability problem which stopped the car. Unfortunately.

Now, Williams have announced their drivers for next year and you are not one of them. What is your current situation? Are you happy or unhappy with it?
MW: Everything is under control. Obviously Flavio is looking after things at the moment and we have got a few plates spinning out there and we will see how they come down.

Q Have you got offers on the table, as they say in Australia?
MW: Well, it would be silly to walk away from Williams and not have anything, wouldn't it? I thought they were going to announce Alex at Hockenheim to be honest. That is what I expected because we couldn't come to an agreement with Williams and that is the way it was.

It is suggested that your future team begins with RE – is that possible?
MW: (laughter) Clever but that's still two teams isn't it?

Could it be one of those two?
MW: We'll see. As we all know in this game, things can change pretty quickly and I think things will continue to change over the next few days, to be honest. I am very relaxed and looking forward to driving here this weekend.

And next year?
MW: Driving here next year? Yeah, I will.

Fernando, obviously last weekend was not one of the best. Are you fearful of the same thing here this weekend?
Fernando Alonso: No, I really hope not, but you really never know in Formula One. Every race is different and we saw in Canada we won the race and one week later in Indianapolis we were one second off so things change very quickly in Formula One. So I hope that things change that quickly again compared to last. We'll see what happens. We have full confidence in the car again and it should be much better and hopefully we are back in the fight.

Is that a 'mass damper' effect or just a better choice of tyres? What is making the difference?
FA: The mass damper did not affect anything at Hockenheim in the race. We saw very clearly that we had a lot of rear problems with tyres that we didn't expect. We had some big blisters – and, you know, you can put as many mass dampers as you want but the rear blisters will be there anyway. So we did probably a bad compromise with rear end of the car and we had that mistake and it was unexpected. So we know what we can do for that and for here it will be much better.
