Red Bull Barcelona Day 3: Glitches & Weather Limit Vettel


By Ian Lockwood
February 28 2010

Sebastian Vettel completed his second day of the final pre-season test in Barcelona this afternoon in another day affected by rain.

Despite few laps being completed in the morning due to a mixture of rain showers and technical issues, the afternoon session proved more valuable, as the team worked on car set-up for the first race in Bahrain. Sebastian’s fastest time was recorded on his last lap of the day.

Ian Morgan, Head of Race Engineering said “We were late out this morning as we had a few technical issues following the overnight rebuild, which carried over into the planned programme for today. Once we were running in the afternoon we got three or four positive tests completed looking at set-up directions for Bahrain, which gave us some clear results – so we ended the session in much better shape.”

Sebastian and Mark Webber will share the driving duties tomorrow on the final day of testing tomorrow.

Driver: Sebastian Vettel; Car: RB6- 02; Laps: 44; Best time: 1:23.123; Circuit length: 4.655 km; Fastest lap: N. Rosberg (1:20.686)

I note that Seb has been given this morning's session which was originaly marked from MW? Presume to compensate for the time lost?

Poor form from the team to give both drivers the opportunity to try out the upgrades??? Absolutely not. Sensible balanced decision made with the understanding that there are 2 drivers in a team.

It's refreshing to see common sense does prevail.
