Jerez de la Frontera, Spain  - Mark Webber returned into the Red Bull Formula One car for tests on Wednesday having recovered from a broken leg sustained less than three months ago.

"I am very relieved," said Webber after a morning session of 48 laps in Jerez de la Frontera.

The Australian Webber broke his right leg on November 22, 2008, when he collided with a car while riding a bike at his own charity event in Tasmania.

Webber said he was ahead of schedule in the healing process but still required light painkillers.

"I will be 100 per cent fit for the start of the season on March 29 in Melbourne," he said.

Red Bull unveiled their 2009 car on Monday in Jerez. Webber's new team-mate is promising German Sebastian Vettel.

Vettel said after tests Tuesday that he liked the new car, with team owner Dietrich Mateschitz outlining the aims for the season during a visit to the track on Wednesday.

"We want to be ahead in midfield and get close to the two or three top teams. Anything worse than fourth or fifth place does not meet the aims of Red Bull racing," Mateschitz said. (dpa)
