Pre-Season Test #1 - Jerez Day 2 - Times & Re-Cap


It was another successful day of testing at the Jerez circuit in Spain. Some teams had a clean and easy day while others struggled with mechanical issues. The weather also made things a bit tricky when it began to rain about 4 hours into the session.

Lotus had arrived and Pastor Maldonado, who didn't get to drive on Day 1, was able to finally get the E23 out on track and take it around for a total of 41 laps.

As for Red Bull, their day of testing was made tricky when Daniil Kvyat had a small off and the front wing was damaged. They continued to run the car without the front wing but Kvyat never set a timed lap. This was also the only front wing Red Bull had brought to Jerez, but they plan to have a new one delivered.

Here are the final session times from Day 2:

1. Sebastian Vettel - 1:20.984 / Ferrari-Ferrari
2. Felipe Nasr - 1:21.867 / Sauber-Ferrari
3. Valtteri Bottas - 1:22.319 / Williams-Mercedes
4. Lewis Hamilton - 1:22.490 / Mercedes-Mercedes
5. Max Verstappen - 1:24.167 / Toro Rosso-Renault
6. Pastor Maldonado - 1:28.802 / Lotus-Mercedes
7. Jenson Button - 1:54.655 / McLaren-Honda
8. Daniil Kvyat - No Time Set / Red Bull-Renault
