Circuit length: 4.005 km

After David Coulthard had two days in the cockpit of the new car (one at Jerez last week and another here in Valencia), it was Mark Webber's turn to try RB4 for the first time.

After  making  adjustments  to  his  seat  and  driving  position,  Webber  got  down  to business and the car ran almost faultlessly all day. The Australian got acclimatised to what  will  be  his  home  for  this  year's  eighteen  races  and,  apart  from  the  usual development work, he also did some aero testing with generally positive results.

"I'm happy with the new car," said Mark at the end of the session. "Today has been encouraging and, so far, it seems to be a big step forward from last year in terms of reliability and speed, which is great. Now we need to work with what we've got and get it as fast as possible before Melbourne. We've got a big four weeks coming up."

Webber continues driving today for the last day of this test.
