Mark Webber Returns to F1
Red Bull's Mark Webber drove a Formula One car Wednesday for the first time since breaking his leg during the off-season.
Webber had surgery in November after breaking his leg in a bicycle accident. The 32-year-old Australian driver's best time was one minute 23.321 seconds from 83 laps around the Jerez circuit.
"There were a lot of questions going into today and I answered them," said Webber, who unveiled Red Bull's new season car Monday sporting a limp. "From my point of view, it all went better than expected and to do over a race distance on my first day back in the cockpit, with several weeks to go to Melbourne, is a good thing."
The F1 season begins with the Australian Grand Prix on March 29.
Sebastien Buemi, a rookie Swiss driver for Toro Rosso, set the pace at the track in southern Spain for the second straight day with a best lap of 1:17.591.
"Even though we are still in the '08 car, I have learned a lot in terms of how we operate over a race weekend, as we simulated a qualifying session and the race," Buemi said. "It was good preparation and now, all we need is our new car."
McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen led this season's crop of cars on Wednesday with a fastest time of 1:20.799, ahead of Webber, Kazuki Nakajima of Williams and Renault's Nelson Piquet Jr.
Ferrari's Felipe Massa set the fastest lap at Bahrain's International circuit before a sand storm halted testing for the day. BMW Sauber and Toyota are also testing at the desert track outside Sakhir.
