The final test session of 2008 got underway today at Jerez de la Frontera, with
Red Bull Racing running two cars; one for Sebastien Buemi and the other for the
young  New  Zealander,  Brendon  Hartley.  Apart  from  a  Show  Run  and  some
straight line testing, this was the Kiwi's first ever proper F1 test and he acquitted
himself  very  well,  completing  more  laps  than  planned.  His  only  mistake  was
missing the pit lane entry at the end of his very first lap. He set the third fastest
time today. "This has been an amazing experience," commented Brendon after
his first full day of testing a Formula 1 car. "The first run was really difficult, just in
terms  of  the  mind  speeding  up,  as  everything's  going  so  much  faster  than
normal. There's a lot of things to think about with button's and radio calls, but I
got more and more confident with the car and it was going well by the end of the
day. It's a dream come true really. I've been working for this all my life and it's
been unbelievable."

As for Buemi, he continued where he left off when he set the fastest times on all
three test days at the same track last week at the wheel of a Toro Rosso car. He
got  through  his  full  programme  which  centred  on  data  measurement  in  the
morning and 2009 brake evaluation in the afternoon. He had a slight off at Turn
9, caught out by rain on the artificial grass, but the damage was soon repaired.

It's  a  double  Seb  day  today  as  Buemi  is  joined  by  Sebastian  Vettel,  who
takes over from Hartley.
