There is a saying that goes, "into every life a little rain must fall" and indeedsome rain did fall on Silverstone today, but that was not the worst of Red BullRacing's problems, as a hard-to-identify electrical problem cost Mark Webbera lot of track time.

After an installation lap, the RB4 developed a misfire whichwas diagnosed and fixed but it later returned, eventually requiring an enginechange,  even  if  the  cause  of  the  problem  was  not  the  engine  itself.  Thismeant  Mark  only  managed  four  laps  in  the  morning.  In  the  afternoon,  theprogramme  centred  on  race  preparation  for  the  British  Grand  Prix,  but,unfortunately, it was interrupted by red flags. Despite only completing limitedmileage Mark was happy with the set-up work which he completed and handsover driving duties to David Coulthard for today's session.
