F1 - Red Bull Racing - Jerez Test Report - Day 2

On his second day’s testing in Jerez, Mark Webber finished with a best time of 1:21.613 after 113 laps. Afterwards Webber said: “The car ran very well and we’re continuing to learn. It’s very early days at the moment in terms of performance and there’s a long way to go before the first race, but we’ve got some good mileage in, which is important.” The quickest time of the day went to Mercedes’ Michael Schumacher whose best lap was 1:20.352.

Our Head of Race Engineering, Ian Morgan said: “We continued to evaluate the new Pirelli tyres today, as well as testing some new aerodynamic components and development parts. It was a productive day; we concentrated on long runs and completed our programme. We’ve had good reliability and Mark’s had a solid two days in the car.”

On the rear wing the team has run a message in Polish for Renault’s Robert Kubica, wishing him a speedy recovery.

Sebastian will be behind the wheel of the RB7 tomorrow, as he takes over duties for the final two days of the test.
