Productive half day for Red Bull

Massive storms hit the Monza track this morning from around seven in the morning until midday, when the track gradually began to dry out. It was not at its best until two hours before the close of play.

It was David's first day on track and he continued with tyre evaluation and also carried out a repeat of some aero testing done earlier in the week, partly to get more data and partly to validate Mark Webber's impressions. So, just half a day on track, but a productive one and, as predicted, the rain has led to this pre-Italian Grand Prix test to be extended to tomorrow, when David will be driving once again.
