 F1, FORMULA ONE: Klien confident of retaining Red Bull seat.
Christian Klien claims that 'it is looking quite good' with regards to whether he can retain his Red Bull Racing seat in 2007, despite his disappointing form this year and rumours linking several drivers to his position.
With Christian Horner already admitting that he is happy for David Coulthard to stay with the team, Klien's drive looks to be under threat from various angles, particularly as he has only scored two points so far this year and has been out-qualified several times by the sister Scuderia Toro Rossos.
Nonetheless, Klien insists his disappointing results have come due to poor reliability and with the team seemingly beginning to overcome those issues, he is confident that he can start challenging for points on a more regular basis over the rest of the season.
