Mark Webber's second day at the wheel of 2008 car, the RB4, came to a premature end today after kerb damage was discovered on the monocoque. Although not serious, it could not be repaired in time to resume testing.

"Overall, this three day test has been positive, with RB4 showing encouraging performance and reliability," maintained Chief Test Engineer, Ian Morgan. "Even the two runs Mark managed this morning went well, but the early stop meant we did not get through all of today's programme."

Red Bull Racing will be back in action from 1 to 3 February in Barcelona, when test team mechanics the world over will be delighted to sample the delights of a weekend test session!
