Day four for Red Bull Racing

Red Bull was also testing at Jerez this week as they see the end of pre-season testing closing in. Still, David Coulthard only completed 33 laps as Red Bull is careful with the car to prevent overheating. In their last pre-season test next week, the team will try to focus on race simulations.

Car: RB2-02
Driver: David Coulthard
Laps: 33
Best time: 1:11.070
Circuit length: 4.005km

The sand in the Red Bull Racing egg timer ran its course today, signalling the end of what Technical Director, Mark Smith, described as "a very positive and encouraging week of testing." Once again today, David Coulthard was our sole representative on track and, once again, he had to contend with strong winds. The day's programme was pretty similar to yesterday's,
concentrating on chassis set-up, control systems and tyres. "We have made progress throughout the week," continued Smith, "and we now have a much better understanding of the car. Next week, we move to Barcelona for the final test before the opening round of the season and so we will be concentrating on race distance simulations and race preparation, including pit-stops, complete with refuelling."

The Barcelona test Mark refers to runs from 21st to 24th February and will feature all three Red
Bull Racing drivers.
