In-Season Test #1 - Bahrain / Day 2 Re-Cap

         The first set of In-Season testing is now done and complete and I have a quick Re-Cap of Day #2, along with the times from the end of the session.

        The session started off with Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso stopping on the circuit, causing the first Red Flag of the session. After his car was taken back to the garages, the session continued and Mercedes began racking up the laps with Lewis behind the wheel. 

           Red Flag #2 was right before lunch and was caused when Kevin Magnussen spun out into the gravel, although there was no injury to the driver, the car had to be returned to the garages and then it was time for the Lunch Break, with Hamilton being the fastest of the Morning Session.

     After lunch, the Afternoon Session began and it was only a bit before Red Flag #3 happened and this time, it was Romain Grosjean, in the Lotus, who stopped. While their car was returned to the garages, it was also something to note that Ferrari had to retire from the Test Session early do to a damaged Chassis, which they did not want to further damage.

       The last Red Flag, which made #4 for the day, happened when Marcus Ericsson's Caterham stopped and began smoking. Although there was no fire, it was definitely time to return to the garages and that's where the Caterham was taken.

   Lewis Hamilton ended the Afternoon Session at the top of the time sheets as well, and now, here is the full Time Results.
