All’s not well at Red Bull
The Milton Keynes based team, scheduled to have already completed its winter preparations, will 'squeeze in' a final test run at Valencia (Spain) this week.
The team's new 2006 car, 'RB2', is still very unreliable, despite the new bodywork package which addresses a cooling flaw.
But Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is keen to play down the alleged car crisis.
''(Christian) Klien did a decent lap (last week) which proves the car has got speed,'' he said.
''The final test in Valencia will give us more track time to smooth out a few rough edges in the overall package.''
In the German 'Auto Motor Und Sport' magazine, however, it is claimed that the RB2 is still yet to collect a single race distance this winter. An analysis of mileage-per-day at tests, moreover, shows that – Super Aguri aside – Red Bull is by far the least reliable on the grid.
