News from Infiniti Red Bull Racing following Friday’s free practice sessions ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Round two of the world championship in Kuala Lumpur is a completely different challenge to last weekend’s season-opener in Melbourne and it’s one that Mark relishes.

“I felt like I drove well all weekend,” Mark said, “so it was frustrating to come away so low down in the points. My goal was to finish on the podium, but things went against me from the start.”

“We had a few issues on the grid getting the telemetry from the car to the pits and we also lost KERS for the first part of the race,” said Mark after recovering to finish sixth in today’s Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

Mark Webber’s final day of pre-season testing got off to a slow start on Saturday morning as the team was delayed in the garage with overnight changes to the car.

Mark set the quickest time on a rain-affected first day of testing at Barcelona. “We only got one hour at the end of the day in more stable conditions. We opted to put on a couple of sets of tyres at the end and see how it went and it was OK,” said Mark who completed a total of 90 laps.

Despite the intermittent downpours and a host of red flags, Mark Webber managed to get through the full programme planned by Infiniti Red Bull Racing on the final day of testing in Barcelona.

Mark Webber took over from Sebastian Vettel at the wheel of the RB9 in Barcelona on Thursday and was able to get through 108 laps and almost 497km of running.
