Doornbos in action at Silverstone

NEWS STORY

The 'Home of British Motor Racing' lived up to its reputation for having a unique microclimate, with freezing cold temperatures as Robert Doornbos continued development work on the Red Bull RB2.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and partly because of the cold and partly because of revisions to the current car, the Dutchman was able to put together some long runs, something that had not been possible to date, because of cooling problems.

Today's programme centred on these modifications as well as some other aerodynamic elements.

"Apart from that, we continued work with an on-going brake development programme and some general set-up work, as Robert has not yet had much time in the car," said Chief Test Engineer, Ian Morgan. "We also put in some useful pit-stop practice at the end of the day."

The Dutch driver completed 85 laps, posting a best time of 1:25.6

Christian Klien takes over in the cockpit tomorrow, for the final day of testing at the Northamptonshire circuit.
