Red Bull offers Klien Champ Car
Formula One is most likely going to say goodbye to Christian Klien at the end of the season. Mark Webber will replace the Austrian Red Bull driver next season and now Red Bull has made Klien an offer to race in the American Champ Car series.
"We made Klien an offer to race in Champ Car and there is also an alternative to race in the DTM series. He has two weeks to think about it," Red Bull motorsport director Helmut Marko told Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten. "The door to Formula 1 is still open for Klien but only after he has shown what he can do in Champ Car."
For Marko the reason of Klien's departure is clear. "At the start of the season Klien was given one target: beat David Coulthard. He was not able to do it neither in the races nor in the free practice sessions. He had a good first season but he was unable to develop himself."
