KRB had an eventful qualifying session for the German Grand Prix. Robert Filipe had to switch to the T-car after his engineers discovered a problem with the differential in his race car. It has since emerged that this was due to an electronical malfunction.

The problems caused a tensed atmosphere in the KRB box even before a single lap was covered by any of the drivers. Filipe tried but couldn't get further than 15th place in a car initially configured for KRB's new hope Steven Holgeth. Robert Filipe wasn't available for comment but it is rumoured he had to go to an important happening right after the qualifying session. Later he was already seen back in the hotel.
