Mark Webber, Red Bull, Jerez, 19 February
Australian Webber set the best time of the day, and of the week so far, after a lap of 1:19.299 early in the afternoon. His time was also the best so far at Jerez, nearly two tenths of a second quicker than last week's benchmark, set by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Webber's day was not without trouble, however, the Red Bull driver causing the fourth red flag of the day when he stopped around 12pm.the sun finally made an appearance for most the session, allowing teams to work on their programmes following the frustration of the opening two days.19 FEBRUARY
