Mark Webber took over the wheel of the RB4 for the 3rd day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya on the outskirts of Barcelona. All the team’s focus was on the forthcoming races today, with no 2009 slick tyres on the agenda as Mark Webber stepped into the cockpit occupied by David Coulthard for the past two days.
Because of a threat of rain for the final day tomorrow, the team slightly modified its track programme, which all went off without any problems. While assessing the Prime and Option tyres that will be available to him in two weekends time, our Aussie driver also evaluated some new aerodynamic components.
