The Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team principal, Christian Horner, gives an update from Barcelona: “It has been a good, positive winter. We looked forward to test the new car on track. This week we are very much focussed on what we are doing, we want to learn as much as possible in these six days.”
There are three days this test week and another three next week. Horner continues: “We divided it fair and balanced. And the engineers prefer having continuity for a whole day with one driver in the car. With the kind of mileage these cars do today, you try to put as much as you can in those two half days.
