Video clips of Sebastien Loeb testing the F1 RB4 at Silverstone and Circuit de Catalunya Barcelona

With Sebastien Loeb setting 8th fastest time at the Circuit de Catalunya here are a few video clips from yesterday's F1 winter test in Barcelona and footage from his shakedown run at Silverstone last week.

Loeb completed 82 laps in the 2008 Formula 1 Red Bull Racing RB4 on slick tyres and impressed the Red Bull team with his performance and approach. Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel was quickest today in Barcelona using the same car.

Loeb commented about his testing experience:

I don't think I'd like to take this much horsepower into the forests!

It was a great experience though and I had fun, although I have to say that driving one of these cars is tougher physically than driving my rally car.

Towards the end of the day, I began to get a good feel for the car and enjoyed the sensation of it moving around on the track - and I have to say that the level of grip in the high speed corners is very impressive."
