Here ae the times from Day 2.

1. Nico Rosberg - 1:09.113 / Mercedes-Mercedes
2. Esteban Gutierrez - 1:09.331 / Ferrari-Ferrari
3. Valtteri Bottas - 1:10.029 / Williams-Mercedes

In-Season Test 2 - Austria Day 1: Re-Cap & Times


The first day of testing in Austria got off to a very rain-soaked start. The clouds above sent downpour for the whole AM session and continued through the lunch break before finally stopping. The rain caused the test to be Red Flagged as conditions were too dangerous to be running in.

When the session finally went green, the drivers still had a few hours to rack up some laps and gather information for he teams. Manor-Marussia isn't taking part in the test as they are putting all resources towards their 2016 car.

Antonio Fuoco was in the Ferrari and had a late crash in the session. He went on the grass and the car went into the wall. He took the blame for the crash but is OK. The Ferrari, however, needed some repairs.

Esteban Ocon was behind the wheel of the new Force India B-Spec car and he finished the session in 2nd, giving everyone a taste of good things to come for the midfield team.

Here are the times from the session.

TIMES:

1. Pascal Wehrlein - 1:11.005 / Mercedes-Mercedes
2. Esteban Ocon - 1:11.192 / Force India-Mercedes
3. Max Verstappen - 1:11.328 / Toro Rosso-Renault
4. Antonio Fuoco - 1:11.331 / Ferrari-Ferrari
5. Romain Grosjean - 1:11.509 / Lotus-Mercedes
6. Pierre Gasly - 1:11.757 / Red Bull-Renault
7. Raffaele Marciello - 1:11.826 / Sauber-Ferrari
8. Stoffel Vandoorne - 1:12.530 / McLaren-Honda
