In-Season Test #2 - Barcelona - Day 1 Re-Cap & Results

The first day of the in-season test at Barcelona is now done and complete, so time for a re-cap and I will also be posting the times.

The morning started off sorta' rainy and very cold. Vergne caused 2 Red Flags when the Toro Rosso stopped once and then twice in the span of 2 hours. Raikkonen and Chilton also stopped once and caused Red Flags. Later on, Hamilton, who ended the morning session on top, stopped in the pit-lane.

After lunch, we had technical issues so I missed quite a lot, but what I do know is that Kobayashi had an accident and crashed the Caterham, while Max Chilton in the Marussia, was fastest out of the whole session. Sebastien Buemi, reserve for Redbull, had a difficult session when he endured gearbox problems. The weather was better though, as the track cleared up and most drivers were putting on Medium tyres. Sauber & Toro Rosso were the teams carrying out testing for Pirelli this time around. 

Now, on to the times:

1. Max Chilton - 1:26.434 / Marussia

2. Charles Pic - 1:26.661 / Lotus

3. Lewis Hamilton - 1:26.674 / Mercedes

4. Kimi Raikkonen - 1:26.965 / Ferrari

5. Jean-Eric Vergne - 1:27.724 / Toro Rosso

6. Nico Hulkenberg - 1:27.727 / Force India

7. Felipe Massa - 1:27.756 / Williams

8. Jenson Button - 1:28.333 / McLaren

9. Kamui Kobayashi - 1:30.101 / Caterham

10. Sebastien Buemi - 1:31.440 / Redbull

11. Giedo Van Der Garde - 1:31.783 / Sauber
