Rosberg tops the early running as Red Bull debuts

Nico Rosberg was the early pace-setter at Jerez on Wednesday morning. Debuting Red Bull's 2010 challenger at the Spanish circuit, Mark Webber put the new RB6 through its paces, completing just five laps in the opening hour.

The Aussie was slowest of the nine drivers in action although given that it's the car's first run, that's to be expected.
