Mark Webber's return to Spa was not a straightforward one as a close encounter with a  white  line  on  dry  weather  tyres  on  a  damp  track  saw  the  Australian  spin,  doing some damage to front and rear wings on the RB3. Once repaired, he was back outagain on a dry track until an oil cooler problem robbed the team of the last 50 minutes of track time.

"The  weather  and  a  couple  of  mechanical  bothers  meant  that  overall,  we  did  not cover the sort of mileage we had been hoping for over the three days," commented Chief Test Engineer Ian Morgan. "However, on the positive side, we have learnt a lot about  a  track  we  had  not  visited  for  a  while,  we  completed  our  tyre  comparison programme, as well as trying Bridgestone's rain tyres and we also signed off some new aero and mechanical components for use at next week's European GP."
