Steady start for Red Bull drivers

The Red Bull Racing drivers showed a promising performance in today's free practice session. Mark Webber and David Coulthard ended second and fourth in the afternoon session at Silverstone and are positive about the day's job.

Mark Webber commented about his day: "Not a bad afternoon session. We had a look at a few different settings, as conditions were not the same as at the test, but that's normal. After a small electronic problem this morning, we had some better running this afternoon when I was much happier with the car. Now we'll wait and see what the weather will do tomorrow."

His team mate Coulthard said: "A normal Friday. It was good to get some more running time, after missing a lot of track time at the test due to various problems we had there. I didn't have a chance to run the option tyre during the test, so that was my first look at it today."
