Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber was almost a second faster than his nearest rival on the opening day of testing at the Barcelona circuit in Spain on Thursday and the Aussie racer has promised there is even more to come! However, he did admit that there is still the odd problem or two and when he set the fast time, he wasn’t weighed down with fuel...

"Obviously we put some new parts on the car which helped a lot - and of course the car wasn't in its heaviest form in terms of fuel. Ok, we used a lot of performance today to get the lap time, but we're still looking to improve before Bahrain,” he was quoted as saying by Autosport. “We still have problems, so we are not going on holiday tonight. We have more work to do, and we're still improving this car."

There have been a few reliability concerns raised over the new car and on day one the Aussie racer actually stopped on track as a result, but he is not concerned at all...

"We had one problem, but apart from that we were faultless. We were very close to pulling off a beautiful smooth day. Also, to learn about the car sometimes you run parts close to the limit on mileage, which wouldn't be the case on race weekends.”
