Christian Horner admits Red Bull has hit “numerous” issues during the first test at Jerez after ending its running for the week. Red Bull managed just 21 laps in total over the four days of testing, with Sebastian Vettel completing 11 and Daniel Ricciardo 10. With the team having been unable to resolve its problems at the circuit it called an end to its running early on Friday and Horner admits there is not one single problem which needs resolving. “Its been a very difficult test,” Horner said. “We have had numerous Renault issues as well as chassis cooling issues, which have affected our progress. “However, despite the lack of mileage, what we have managed to learn shows that the problems should be solvable for the next test in Bahrain. Part of the purpose of this early test was to learn about any issues ahead of the start of the season and there will now be a lot of focus on the dyno over the next few weeks.” Race engineering co-ordinator Andy Damerum hinted that Fridays running was curtailed by a new problem to the ones which have restricted mileage on previous days.
