In-Season Test #2 - Day #2 - Re-Cap & Times

IN-SEASON TEST #2 - DAY #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    McLaren prodigy Lando Norris narrowly missed out on the top time in the final Formula 1 test day at the Hungaroring.

    Sebastian Vettel finished the day fastest, just two tenths of a second quicker than 17-year-old Norris.

    Vettel set his 1:17.124s lap time in the morning, before handing over to team-mate Kimi Raikkonen. The championship leader was called up to test late and is believed to be running new parts. He was seven tenths of a second quicker than Raikkonen, who finished the day third.

    Norris, in only his first day in a Formula 1 car, completed more than 90 laps and set a lap time quicker than Fernando Alonso’s qualifying time last Saturday.

    It wasn’t all perfect for the young Brit, though, as he brought out the red flags at the end of the morning session.

    The star of the day was Robert Kubica, who drove a modern F1 car for the first time in six and a half years. Kubica completed nearly 150 laps in the RS17, after clipping the wall when leaving the garage for the first time and knocking down the “Nico Hulkenberg” sign left over from the Hungarian GP.

    Kubica’s time was fourth fastest, ahead of Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat, who were sharing Toro Rosso testing duties.

    Kvyat brought out the second red flag of the day towards the end of the afternoon session. He had just improved his time to go sixth fastest when he brought out the red flag. The track turned green again five minutes later, only for the red flags to return to clear debris.

    Seventh in the timings was Lucas Auer, one of two juniors testing the Force India. He completed 49 laps and was four tenths of a quicker faster than Nikita Mazepin, who finished the day ninth.

    Mercedes junior George Russell took eighth fastest before stopping on track in the closing minutes of the afternoon session. He brought out the final red flag of the day – and the final red flag before summer break – and brought an end to the session.

    Rounding out the top 10 was Red Bull junior Pierre Gasly, who was driving for the senior team in his first day of in-season testing this year. He completed over 100 laps, but was more than a second slower than Kvyat.

    Luca Ghiotto in the Williams finished 11th, ahead of Santonio Ferruci in the Haas and Nobuhara Matsushuta in the Sauber.

TIMES:

1. Sebastian Vettel (AM) - 1:17.124 / Ferrari-Ferrari / Germany / 40 Laps
2. Lando Norris - 1:17.385 / McLaren-Honda / Great Britain / 91 Laps
3. Kimi Raikkonen (AM/PM) - 1:17.842 / Ferrari-Ferrari / Finland / 60 Laps
4. Robert Kubica - 1:18.572 / Renault-Renault / Poland / 142 Laps
5. Carlos Sainz (AM) - 1:18.850 / Toro Rosso-Renault / Spain / 68 Laps

IN-SEASON TEST #2 - DAY #1 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Charles Leclerc topped the time-sheets at the end of the first day of the second and last in-season test of the year. Leclerc, a reigning GP3 champion and current Formula 2 driver for PREMA Racing, finished the session with a fastest time of 1:17.746. And which team did he get to drive for? Ferrari. Leclerc is part of the Ferrari Academy and it is rumored that he will have a potential F1 drive next year with Sauber.

    GP3 driver, George Russell, drove the Mercedes and finished the session in 4th. He completed a total of 119 laps and had a fastest time of 1:19.231. Valtteri Bottas drove a separate Mercedes to conduct a special tyre test for Pirelli. Bottas finished just ahead of Russel, in 3rd, with a 1:18.732.

    Verstappen, one of the other current F1 drivers to stay behind at Hungaroring for the test, had issues with his Red Bull during most of the day, including an engine problem that left him in the garage for quite a long time. He finished down in 11th and only completed 58 laps.

    Stoffel Vandoorne finished 2nd fastest of the day with a 1:17.834 but the day didn't come without a McLaren technical issue. His car stopped on track during the session and caused Red Flags.

    Force India split driving duties between one of their test/reserve drivers, Nikita Mazepin. He drove the car during the 4-Hour AM session, before Lucas Auer, a DTM driver for Mercedes, took over for the 4-Hour PM session. Mazepin finished the session in 6th and Auer, a bit further down in 9th.

In-Season Test #1 - Day #2 - Re-Cap & Times

IN-SEASON TEST #1 - DAY #2 - RE-CAP & TIMES

    Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas topped the second day of testing in Bahrain.

    The Finn put in 143 laps in an effort to better understand the tyres, something the team could have done with before last weekend’s race. Mercedes were also testing new aero pieces to combat Ferrari’s boost in performance. Bottas did briefly stop on track early in the afternoon with a mechanical problem, but managed to get the Mercedes going again.

    Sebastian Vettel was behind the wheel for Ferrari, but the German didn’t get half as many laps as Bottas. The team found a hydraulic leak whilst changing the setting’s, forcing Vettel to remain in the pits for the majority of the morning session. A data problem in the afternoon did briefly disturb 
Ferrari’s running, but Vettel eventually managed 64 laps and the second best time.

    One team that didn’t face any problems today was McLaren. After a disastrous weekend in Bahrain and more problems yesterday, it was smooth running for Stoffel Vandoorne. The Belgian completed 81 laps – more laps than a race distance – and set the fourth fastest time overall, just two tenths of a second slower than Sainz in third.

    Haas spent their day evaluating new brakes. The problem has plagued the team since the later part of last season, and they’re keen to keep up the pace they’ve shown. Kevin Magnussen set the fifth fastest time, ahead of Daniil Kvyat, who ran the Toro Rosso in the morning session.

    Williams, Renault, and Red Bull all ran test drivers. Williams’ Gary Paffett, who returned to the track for the first time since 2013, set the eighth fastest time ahead of Renault’s Sergey Sirotkin and Red Bull’s Pierre Gasly.

    Pascal Wehrlein made up for lost time by getting into his Sauber and completing over 90 laps throughout the day, setting the 11th fastest time ahead of Force India’s Sergio Perez.

In-Season Test 1 - (Barcelona) Day 1 / Re-Cap & Times

IN-SEASON TESTING / DAY 1 / RE-CAP & TIMES

While Sauber opted not to attend testing for multiple reasons, the rest of the 10 teams stuck around for the first in-season test of the year. Not all teams chose to run a current driver in their line up. For example, Williams did not use Massa or Bottas for day 1 but instead went with Alex Lynn, who is not a main driver but a reserve/test driver for their team for this season.

    Williams not only used a different driver, but showed off a retro-style double decker back wing. The wing is illegal currently to race with, but they were allowed to run it in testing. It was definitely a talking point around the track and on social media.

    Pierre Gasly, former Formula Renault 3.5 driver & Current GP2 driver for the Prema Racing team, got to drive for Toro Rosso for the day and had a pretty good session until electronics issues cut his running short. Gasly however, finished the session overall in 7th.

    Ferrari was at the top of the time-sheets, with Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel. His fastest time of the day was a 1:23.220. Mercedes was close behind though, while Button in the McLaren rounded up the top three. 

TIMES:

1. Sebastian Vettel - 1:23.220 / Ferrari-Ferrari / Germany

2. Nico Rosberg - 1:23.337 / Mercedes-Mercedes / Germany

3. Jenson Button - 1:23.753 / McLaren-Honda / Great Britain

Here ae the times from Day 2.

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
