Sebastien Loeb tests the Red Bull
The fact that he was only 1.5 seconds off the fastest time in Barcelona on Monday, tends to suggest that the five-time World Rally Champion isn’t half bad in a Formula 1 car…

Ed returned from a stint in Milan, working on the Italian version of Autocar, and joined the team in August 2007. After two years of countless scooter accidents and a constant battle against coffee addiction it was a relief for him to start writing in his mother tongue. As well as managing the website, Ed is responsible for writing the Auctions and Desirables pages, the occasional features article and made his TV debut on CNN at the end of last year commenting on the F1 season.
