Webber takes fight to STR, but can’t stop Vettel
A late qualifying effort against the grain of worsening conditions, vaulted Mark Webber onto the second row of the grid in Monza giving the Red Bull family further cause for celebration ahead of Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.
Red Bull Racing have confirmed that Sebastien Vettel, who has already been confirmed as one of their 2009 drivers, will be testing for the team in Jerez, Spain, later in the month.
Christian Horner, Team Principal at Red Bull Racing, has said that the team’s lack of performance recently is down to tyres.
David Coulthard will be using the same engine at Hungary, meaning the engine will be run for three straight races in a row. The decision has been made to ensure he is on a different engine cycle to team-mate Mark Webber, and also so that he gets different engines in Belgium and Italy – the two tracks are notorious for being two of the toughest tracks for engines on the racing calendar.
Red Bull Racing have confirmed that Sebastien Vettel will be racing for the team next season, replacing David Coulthard who is retiring from the sport at the end of the 2008 season.
In an interview with Autosport, Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner believes that Vettel will give Webber a hard time on the track next season.
Red Bull’s factory was evacuated yesterday after a fire alarm was activated. The alarm went off after a component went up in smoke, producing hazardous fumes, just before lunch-time. The staff, including driver Mark Webber, were evacuated from the premises. Four fire engines were dispatched to the building in Milton Keynes.
