Zoom Coulthard, the busiest driver at Monza today

After Mark Webber drove on the previous two days at the Monza circuit, it was David Coulthard's turn to get behind the wheel for the final day of the penultimate test of the season.

On the agenda was pre-Italian GP race preparation, with Coulthard concentrating on testing mechanical set-ups specifically for Monza and finding a reasonable balance on the RB4.

Some performance-related work was carried out in the afternoon, when the track conditions were at their hottest and slowest. Coulthard covered 120 laps today, and achieved the fifth best time around the 5.793-kilometre track.

"This three-day test has produced positive results for us," commented Ian Morgan, Chief Test Engineer.

"We can be particularly satisfied that the car ran one hundred percent reliably on track throughout and we completed over 1,800 kilometres, the most of any team here, with today being particularly busy," he concluded.
