Red Bull not discouraged

Red Bull did not have exactly a trouble free test of it new RB2 chassis at Jerez last week with an electrical problem, an engine failure, and a gearbox glitch. However, according to the team the teething troubles were nothing too serious and they were able get valuable mileage on the new car.

Christian Horner, Sporting Director “By the end of the test, we had completed some valuable mileage with RB2 and after some initial teething problems were pleased with the initial feedback The car is very much an interim machine in terms of its aerodynamic package. The whole point of getting our new car out so early was to learn as much as possible about running with a V8 engine well before the start of the season. On that front, we are very pleased with the job that Ferrari is doing. We always knew that the lessons learnt by running the car early would be worth a bit of pain and overall I’d say it’s looking very encouraging.”

Red Bull gets back on track next Tuesday in Barcelona before moving back to Jerez in February.
