Mark Webber completed his second days testing at the Jerez circuit in Spain on Friday.
The team have opted to concentrate on improving their reliability before the season begins in Bahrain. Early signs look promising with the Australian managing to complete over 200 laps during the two days.
The RB7 has also shown good pace, though Webber warned it was early days.
“The car ran very well and we’re continuing to learn,” he said. “It’s very early days at the moment in terms of performance and there’s a long way to go before the first race, but we’ve got some good mileage in, which is important.”
Ian Morgan, Red Bull’s head of race engineering added: “We continued to evaluate the new Pirelli tyres today, as well as testing some new aerodynamic components and development parts.
“It was a productive day; we concentrated on long runs and completed our programme. We’ve had good reliability and Mark’s had a solid two days in the car.”
