Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel continued his strong form by topping the final day of this week's Barcelona test, as the two Red Bull teams once again dominated the leading positions in Spain.

Vettel set a best time of 1:19.295 for Red Bull Racing, putting him 0.6 seconds clear of Toro Rosso's Sebastien Bourdais. The Frenchman beat Sebastien Buemi, one of his two rivals for an STR seat next year, by 0.3 seconds as the Swiss GP2 front-runner completed the top three.

McLaren test driver Gary Paffett was fourth in his KERS-equipped car, ahead of Honda's Jenson Button and BMW Sauber duo Christian Klien and Nick Heidfeld.

Bruno Senna made his case for a 2009 Honda race drive by taking eighth place on his first full day in a Formula 1 car. The Brazilian was only 0.3 seconds slower than teammate Button, and 0.6 seconds quicker than his rival Lucas di Grassi had managed yesterday.
