Christian Klein enjoyed a number of positive meetings with Formula One teams and manufacturers during his visit to the final round of this year's World Championship in Interlagos, Brazil. The 23 year old Austrian was invited to meet with representatives from a number of teams and was informed he is a strong candidate for a number of opportunities next season.

Last year's race in Interlagos saw Klien qualify a strong 6th, two weeks before qualifying 4th for the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix – Red Bull Racing's best ever qualifying performance.

"It was a good weekend and I had very useful meetings with teams which clearly recognise that I can bring the speed and experience necessary to contribute to their success," said Christian.

"There is a lot of rumour and speculation about the driving opportunities for 2007, so it's useful to know what the teams really want and to understand what my role is in their plans. I am excited by the things they have told me, and I'm going to be working hard to finalise the best opportunity in the coming weeks. Of course it was frustrating not to be racing at Interlagos which is a challenging circuit and again produced a great race, but it has confirmed my determination to be in Formula One next season."
