The  desert  is  not  usually  regarded  as  an  ideal  venue  for  staging  a  DressRehearsal,  but  that's  more  or  less  what  this  six  day  session  at  the  BahrainInternational  Circuit  of  Sakhir  represents,  as  it  is  the  last  chance  to  geteverything sorted out prior to the season opener in Melbourne. To continue thetheatrical  theme,  we  now  have  a  two  day  Intermission  (ice  cream  is  beingserved in the foyer) before the final three days get underway on Tuesday.

For   Red   Bull   Racing,   work   continued   on   development   of   RB3:   set-up,assessing engine and ancillary cooling in the hotter conditions afforded in thispart  of  the  world;  testing  brakes  on  one  of  the  toughest  tracks  in  terms  ofbrake use, looking at systems reliability, software and evaluating the two typesof tyre that Bridgestone will supply for the race here in mid-April. "On the firstday,  both  cars  lost  some  track  time  with  a  technical  problem,  but  generallyover  the  three  days,  we  made  good  progress,  culminating  in  both  David  andMark  completing  the  equivalent  of  a  race  distance  each  today,"  said  Head  ofRace   and   Test   Engineering,   Paul   Monaghan.   "David   also   posted   somecompetitive  times,  while  Mark  was  working  on  different  aspects  of  the  car'sperformance.  As  far  as  cooling  and  brakes  are  concerned,  we  look  in  goodshape and, although we still have some reliability concerns, I think we can sortthese out before tackling the next three days of testing here."
