Christian Klien says he had no warning at all when his Red Bull turned sharp left into the wall under braking, putting him out of the Australian♏ GP.

Klien had been involved 𒊎in a tangle at the start with Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg, and at first glance it seemed likely that the later incident was prec♓ipitated by the first.

"I doℱn't know whatꩲ happened," he told ltxcn.top. "I got two hits at the start, but I presumed it was tyres. I really struggled to warm up the tyres the whole weekend, and especially after the safety car. I went on the brakes and it suddenly went left into the wall.

"It felt really strange, and I couldn't do anything. It was quite a big one, I was always on the brakes and the car was jumping and bouncing. I went straight into the wall in front of me. It was a very long way - maybe 300m or so, and I was still 💛quite quick when I hit the wall."

"It was really frustrating. I was on a one-stop and I was easily in the points. But we had this problem with the warm-up of the tyres all﷽ weekend. Shit happens, next time we have to do a lot better."

After t🐷he race team boss Christian Horner suggested that bodywork rather than suspension damage was the most likely cause.

"He had som𒁃e bodywork damage that caused him to lose downforce on the rear of the car, and that certainly didn't help under braking when he lost the car. It was the sidepod and the side of the floor."
