F1 testing is finally over and the last day was crucial for the teams to make sure they have everything in order before the Season-Starter: Australia.
Minor problems for Red Bull, including an issue that made the car stop in the pit-lane early on in the morning. However, Ricciardo still had plenty of run time and racked up a total of 70 laps.
McLaren faced more delays due to a sensor issue that required the team to remove the engine. Due to this, Button ended the day with only 30 laps.
Sergio Perez had his first taste of the VJM08 and did a total of 127 laps. The team is feeling very positive about the car but expects minor set-backs in the first few races of the season.
Lotus had to end the day early due to a crash for Maldonado caused by brake failure. While there were no injuries, it was not a good way to end testing.
Here are the times from the final day:
1. Valtteri Bottas - 1:23.063 / Williams-Mercedes
2. Sebastian Vettel - 1:23.469 / Ferrari-Ferrari
