Red Bull mechanics prepare

According to the Mirror.co.uk.sport website, Christian Horner would have sent his men to physically prepare in England with athletes training for the London Olympic Games. Thus, 18 mechanics of the team Red Bull visited the Bisham Abbey complex in Buckingamshire, a sports center also used by the Football and Rugby teams.

This season, even more than in recent years, the speed of the mechanics in changing tires will be essential, as refueling is prohibited.
And apparently the plan is working, as the Red Bull Racing boss confirms.

“The guys trained like crazy during the winter. We even changed the roles of a few team members, with some being better than others at using the gun or changing the tires. They all lost weight. The mechanics have trained twice a day since November, and are now able to achieve pit stops of less than two seconds. They are lightning fast. We have always been fast in this area, but now the approach is much more scientific. »

At the end of last year, the Red Bull team was certainly the best performing in the field in many sectors, but unfortunately, it "failed" to second place in the teams ranking, and the young Sebastian Vettel became world vice-champion behind Jenson Button. In 2010, to do better, we will have to win. Christian Horner understands this well. All team members will arrive ready in Bahrain this weekend.
