Red Bull Racing acknowledges its anxiety as the upcoming tests in Jerez, Spain approach next week. Indeed, the team will launch its RBR6 and the initial weather forecasts suggest a second testing session in the rain. The Milton Keynes team chose not to participate in this week’s F1 testing in Valencia to allow more development time with the new car. Moreover, many consider it a serious contender for the world championship this year.
Red Bull is convinced that the 12 days of testing scheduled before the first race will be sufficient to thoroughly test the RB6. However, weather forecasts from Jerez suggest that rain could appear throughout these four-day tests. Naturally, this could seriously limit track time.
If next week’s forecasts in Jerez prove accurate, it will leave Red Bull Racing with only two more regular tests, in Jerez the following week and in Barcelona at the end of the month. Virgin Racing and Force India are the two other teams that have planned to launch their new car on track.
