Red Bull Junior driver Jean-Eric Vergne was back at the wheel of an RB7 today for the second day of the Young Driver Test at the Yas Marina Circuit.
On the second day of the three-day test, Jean-Eric again topped the time sheets with a fastest lap time of 1:40.188 after 43 laps of the 5.554km Yas Marina Circuit.
As he continued to get used to the RB7, Jean-Eric once again set the fastest time. However, the day was less productive for the team than yesterday due to sensor issues affecting running in the morning and a KERS issue in the afternoon.
Head of Race Engineering Ian Morgan said: “We had quite a disjointed morning due to some sensor issues which interrupted our run programme and this afternoon we lost more track time with a KERS issue. The issues are resolved now and at least we were able to complete some laps which provided useful data, hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.”
The final results of the day looked like this:
1. Jean-Eric Vergne (Red Bull Racing) 1:40.188s
2. Jules Bianchi (Ferrari) 1:40.279s
3. Gary Paffett (McLaren) 1:41.756s
4. Valtteri Bottas (Williams) 1:42.367s
5.Johnny Cecotto (Force India) 1:42.873s
6. Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) 1:43.637s
7. Sam Bird (Mercedes GP) 1:43.734s
8. Kevin Korjus (Renault) 1:43.776s
9. Luis RAZIA (Lotus) 1:43.944s
10. Kevin Ceccon (Toro Rosso) 1:44.808s
11. Jan Charouz (HRT) 1:46.
12. Charles Pic (Virgin) 1:46.698s
13. Nathanael Berthon (HRT) 1:48.646s
Jean-Eric will drive again tomorrow for the final day of the test.
