In the words of the song 'it's the final countdown', Red Bull Racing kicked off one last pre-seasontest session at the Valencia circuit yesterday.

David Coulthard was driving the car that will be used as the  T-car  in  Bahrain.  There  were  three  main  elements  to  the  test  programme:  general aerodynamic work in the morning, Michelin tyre testing aimed at the Australian Grand Prix in the afternoon and putting more kilometres on the engine specification, which will be used in Bahrain injust over one week's time.

"The day was not entirely trouble free," commented Chief Test Engineer,Ian Morgan. "But we still managed to put quite a few miles on the engine and we did make some progress."

David continues driving in Valencia today
