Winter Testing Day 6 - Re-Cap & Times / Barcelona Test 2


   Day 6 of testing was less than perfect for Haas. Due to overnight issues and a turbo failure, Esteban Gutierrez, was only able to do one installation lap before his day was over. The team had intentions of making it back out in the afternoon session but unfortunately, the issues with the car were too severe and they were unable to get things running in time.

    Valtteri Bottas was up at the top of the time sheets, taking first while Hamilton, who only ran in the AM session, finished in 2nd. Magnussen in the Renault grabbed 3rd.

    The only Red Flag of the day was brought out when one of the Sauber's rear wheels came loose and fell off. The team was also battling issues with their power unit. However, it was still a productive day for the Swiss team, with Ericsson racking up 54 laps.

Here are the times from the session.

1. Valtteri Bottas - 1:23.261 / Williams-Mercedes / 105 Laps
2. Lewis Hamilton (AM) - 1:23.622 / Mercedes-Mercedes / 73 Laps
3. Kevin Magnussen - 1:23.933 / Renault-Renault / 126 Laps
