There was a definite feeling of relief in the Red Bull Racing garage on Friday night,as the final test session of 2006 came to a close, because when Tonio Liuzzi cut theengine as he came into pit lane, it signaled the end of a working life for the less thanloved RB2 car!

Actually, over the past three days, RB2 behaved faultlessly, allowing Ammermuellerand Liuzzi to work through their entire programme, which again centred mainly on anevaluation  of  the  new  Bridgestone  Potenza  tyres.  Almost  perfect  winter  testingconditions - cold and dry - meant engineers had an easier task analyzing data thanthey did a week ago when rain was a frequent visitor.

"Apart from the tyre work, we also carried out some testing aimed at development ofnext year's car, in the areas of suspension geometry and gearbox development," saidChief  Test  Engineer,  Ian  Morgan.  "Now  we  are  all  looking  forward  to  getting  ourhands on the new car in the new year."
