Red Bull Racing - Final Day at Jerez Test
By Ian Lockwood
February 14 2008
Red Bull Racing finish the Jerez test with plenty of mileage and encouraging pace.On the final day of this test, David Coulthard was separated from the top of the time sheet by just one McLaren. He and Mark Webber both 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."
David Coulthard, RB4 – 02, Time: 1:18.485 Laps: 107
Mark Webber, RB4 – 01, Time: 1:19.980 Laps: 107 Circuit length: 4.423 km Fastest Lap: Heikki Kovalainen 1:17.974

Wow awesome like i have predicted 3rd here we come!
I thought the track conditions had improved yesterday when i saw DC had gone 2 tenths faster than Mark, today, if Mark did a qualy run he may have done a 1:18.365, this is awesome.
I know a lot of you guys on here won't believe it until you see it, but i really think we can be in front of BMW and Reno but behind Ferrari and McLaren, so 3rd best team here we come!

YEP,Its all good news the way i look at it but we never seem to hear enough from the drivers, thats what i look for, confirmation from the drivers that what we seem to be seeing is good pace but is it great in the eyes of the drivers.
Its a behind closed doors scene in f1, as least mark seems to be 1 of the drivers who talks the most
At melbourne all secrets will be out of the bag, go webbs

I think this (touch wood) is the best pre-season we have had. I can't wait until barcelona to see all teams there but expect some not to be doing race or quali sims.
I will expect most teams not to show their aero package until Austrailia; there we will see how well we are doing.
My prediction
1-4 Ferrari and McLaren
Then close between RBR, Rosberg and both BMWs. I have a feeling Renault may not be so strong again. Both Renault and Williams have poor second drivers so I hope for points in most races next year.
