The penultimate test of 2007 ended today at the Circuit de Catalunya and the past three  days  can  generally  be  described  as  positive  for  Red  Bull  Racing.  David Coulthard drove on all three days and this last one saw him continue to work on aero and  mechanical  set-up,  based  on  developments  aimed  at  the  2008  regulations.  A trouble free final day saw him get through everything on his programme.

With around two hours being lost to red flags caused by various teams and drivers, it was difficult to squeeze in a full workload. Nevertheless, Robert Doornbos, who took over  from  Karun  Chandhok,  got  through  the  majority  of  his  programme  which focussed  on  the  2008  common  ECU  and  getting  the  Renault  engine and Red Bull Racing chassis systems working in harmony with it.
