On the final day of Red Bull Racing’s scheduled test at the Jerez circuit in Southern Spain, regular driver David Coulthard was separated from the top of the time sheet by just one McLaren.

Together with Aussie teammate Mark Webber, the Scot completed a high mileage on a day when track conditions, at least in the morning, improved thanks to a lull in the strong winds that had plagued the previous two days.

“Overall, this has been a very good test for us, as we got through all our programme and completed more laps than planned,” commented Chief Test Engineer, Ian Morgan. “Over the three days, we did a lot of aero and mechanical work with no major problems and we can look forward to the remaining pre-season tests in Barcelona with confidence.”
