Webber Endure First Day Outing

Click To Follow

Mark Webber endured a frustrating first test outing in the new Red Bull on Wednesday as his world champion teammate Sebastian Vettel was again near the top of the Formula One timesheets in Spain.
Vettel finished top in Tuesday's opening session of 2011 after completing 93 laps in Valencia, and the German was second-best behind Ferrari's Fernando Alonso following another 44 laps at the wheel of the RB7.


Webber, however, was back in a lowly 14th after being able to drive just 17 laps of the circuit.
"I didn't get so long in the car today, so we will start the real work tomorrow," the Australian, who finished third overall in the drivers' championship, told the official F1 website.
"There was a bit of a problem with the installation, something with the pedals, so it took a bit longer than we expected. It wasn't the smoothest day, but we're back tomorrow -- it's great that the guys have got the car here for the first test and I'm looking forward to driving it more."
