Webber Tops the Times at Valencia - Day Two

Australian Mark Webber completed on Tuesday his final day of work before the season opening race in Melbourne with the quickest time on the second day of testing at Valencia.

The Williams driver, at the wheel of the FW27, had a productive and trouble-free day, covering a massive 154 laps, which made him the busiest man on track. Webber finished nearly a whole second in front of Toyota's Ralf Schumacher, driving the TF105.

World Champion Michael Schumacher completed a race simulation, driving the Ferrari F2004M.

The German driver caused the session's only red flag when he spun off without consequences at the second corner. Schumacher's teammate Rubens Barrichello was fourth fastest in the second F2004M.

The BAR-Honda team joined the Valencia test with Takuma Sato debuting a new 007 chassis. The Japanese driver, in his team's final test before the Australian Grand Prix, finished the day over three seconds off Webber's pace.

McLaren's test drivers Pedro de la Rosa and Alexander Wurz were at Valencia but did not test as the weather allowed Juan Pablo Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen to work at Silverstone.

Testing resumes tomorrow.
