Barcelona day two - Red Bull reign again as Vettel takes top slot

Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel matched his team mate Mark Webber’s Tuesday success by setting Wednesday’s fastest time as this week’s final pre-season test at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya continued. Vettel posted a best of 1m 21.865s to beat the second-placed Toro Rosso of Sebastien Buemi by half a second and Webber’s Tuesday time by almost seven-tenths.

Vettel completed 112 laps in the RB7 as he carried out a variety of long and short runs. The team also undertook some pit-stop practice ahead of the Australian season opener. Despite his pace, Vettel remains open minded about Red Bull’s position in the pecking order.
