Klien gets his wings courtesy of Jacques.

Christian Klien escaped with a stiff neck after a spectacular roll at the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Austrian finding that it isn't only Red Bull that 'gives you wings'.

Klien was flipped when Jacques Villeneuve's Sauber clipped his right rear wheel as he turned into the first corner. The Red Bull car suffered broken front suspension as it rolled, before landing back on its wheels and allowing its hapless passenger to climb out unaided.

"It was a very short race, and not the sort of thing that we wanted to have here," Klien told Crash.net, "It happened so quickly. I just turned in, and I saw on TV later that Villeneuve touched me with his front wheel and just rolled the car, although I came back on all four wheels. It was a very light touch, but just enough to let me fly.

"Luckily, I didn't hurt myself, but I have a bit of a stiff neck now. You don't know what's happening, you just hope it comes back on the tyres! There was quite a big bang when I came down, that was the main thing.

"It was just when I was back in the motorhome that they told me what happened to David. It's a shame, both of us out after a minute. It's not our target! I think, in the race, we could have been competitive. If you see the Williams there in the points, we could have done the same."
