The  summer  testing  ban  came  along  in  fine  style  for  Red  Bull  Racing  today,  as  the  team
ended  the  final  test  until  after  the  Turkish  Grand  Prix,  with  Christian  Klien  posting  a
competitive second fastest time.

With  three  grands  prix  in  between  now  and  the  next  test,  tyre  evaluation  for  the  German,
Hungarian  and  Turkish  Grands  Prix  was  the  main  item  on  the  agenda,  with  David  and
Christian   working   on   different   tyre   programmes,   while   Robert   concentrated   on   data
acquisition  work  aimed  more  at  long  term  development.  "We  had  a  couple  of  engine  and
clutch  related  problems  on  the  first  two  days,  but  we  completed  the  programmes  all  the
same," said Chief Test Engineer, Ian Morgan. "Apart from tyres, we did more aerodynamic
development work, as well as testing power steering and suspension geometry. Overall it has
been an encouraging test and it's good to see our car near the top of the time sheet, which
hasn't happened in a while."
