The  Three  Musketeers  were  on  duty  for  Red  Bull  Racing  yesterday,  with  David  Coulthard  joining Christian Klien and Robert Doornbos for day two of the test. Which one is Athos, which Porthos and which Aramis is open to debate.

Christian  continued  to  drive  the  02  chassis,  featuring  the  latest  aerodynamic  configuration.  The Austrian did more chassis set-up work, as well as testing control systems and evaluating tyres for the Bahrain and Malaysian Grands Prix.

Robert Doornbos, in the older 01 chassis, also worked on set-up and control systems, running in the  morning  before  handing  over  to  David  Coulthard.  "This  gives  David  a  good  reference  for comparison when he drives RB2-02 tomorrow", explained Technical Director, Mark Smith. "Apart from a couple of stoppages with Christian's car, this has been another productive day."

Coulthard tries chassis 02 for the first time today and will be the only Red Bull Racing driver on track, as the other car is being shipped back to the factory to be fitted with the latest bodywork package.
