The first pre-season tests for Red Bull Racing take place without major problems in the red bull clan. Enough to allow Daniel Ricciardo, lined up on Monday and Tuesday with nearly 200 laps on the clock, and Daniil Kvyat, author of the ninth fastest time this Wednesday with 74 laps on the clock, to accumulate experience at the wheel of an RB12 clearly to the taste of both drivers.

“I think we have taken a step in the right direction,” comments the Russian. Everything seems to be in its place, the car seems quite balanced and the first feeling is positive. We obviously wanted to accumulate more kilometers today. »

A problem already seen yesterday has indeed hit the Red Bull RB12 again, but Guillaume Rocquelin, head of race engineering, does not seem overly worried. “It's a somewhat frustrating end to the day, since the problem experienced yesterday has manifested itself again.

We worked last night to resolve the problem and the first part of the day was going well. We detected that this problem was returning so we preferred to stop a little earlier. I don't think this will slow us down in our progress, but it's something we'll have to look at before next week. »

Kvyat will find the seat of his car tomorrow for the last day of the Catalan tests.
