Yesterday  it  was  David  Coulthard's  turn  to  sample  the  delights  of  the  short version of the Le Castellet track, as Red Bull Racing continues its preparation for  rounds  six  and  seven  of  the  Formula  One  World  Championship,  in Monaco  and  Montreal. 

 David  ended  up  fourth  fastest  today,  despite  being slightly  delayed  by  a  couple  of  technical  problems  and  some  rain  showersaround lunchtime. The programme included testing some new aerodynamic components as well as trying different mechanical set ups, using some new items on the car. Overall, the team is reasonably confident that it heads for Monaco in good shape after these past two days testing.

Today,  its  time  to  rip  the  wings  off  RB4  and  set  off  for  some  low downforce work on a version of the Ricard track that features long Montreal- style straights. Sebastien Buemi is on driving duty.
