Silverstone enhancements for Red Bull

The Red Bull Racing team will be introducing another upgrade package at its home Grand Prix in Great Britain, starting with free practice on Friday. The squad, whose Milton Keynes base is located twenty miles along the A5 from the Silverstone Circuit, is currently the closest rival to leaders Brawn GP in both championships.

Vettel hopes to make the jump on Brawn this weekend

This weekend will see the Renault-powered RB5 feature a changed rear diffuser and wheel base plus a newly modeled nose cone and engine cover. "We've got a couple of new things on the car which you will be able to see from the outside; we hope they work, that's why they put them on the car!" Chinese Grand Prix winner Sebastian Vettel said on Thursday afternoon. "We will have to prove it on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so let's see.

With team-mate Mark Webber believing that potential lap times from the car could be cut by 'a few tenths' of a second, Vettel knows that time is running out to get on top of the Brawn stranglehold at the top of the table. "Our target is to win, it has been for the last couple of races and it is here, so we have to beat Brawn, not just match them," the German continued. "I think this circuit suits our car - a lot of fast and medium-speed corners, so let's hope the few new bits on the car make a difference and we will finally make the breakthrough."
