Red Bulls find form at Sakhir

Red Bull Racing struggled in the first free practice at Sakhir today but found its feet in final practice as Coulthard went ninth quickest and Webber finished the day fourteenth.

"Conditions were tricky out there today, due to all the dust and everything that's gone down onto the track since we had the test here," said Coulthard. "Of course, the test gives you the benefit of having run through quite a few set up changes, but there were a few people going off the track and running wide. For us, it's quite clear where we are with our tyre choice, so let's see what tomorrow brings, it's very tight in the mid-field."

Webber commented, "The first session was difficult for us and we worked hard over the break to improve the car for the second session. We definitely made good progress, the guys worked well and in the second practice the car had better balance. We understand the tyres pretty well here, and overall I'd say we're in about the same shape as we were for the last two races, so we're going along okay."
