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:

Kubica Confirmed To Test For Renault

ROBERT KUBICA CONFIRMED TO TEST FOR RENAULT

    Robert Kubica will drive the current Renault Formula 1 car during the in-season test after the Hungary Grand Prix.

    The Polish driver was left with only partial movement in his right arm after a rally crash in 2011. He hasn’t raced in F1 since, but rumours about a possible return have spread since he began testing in a 2012 Renault.

    Kubica has already completed two tests in the old spec Renault and says his injury hasn’t affected his driving, but is yet to drive a car from the current regulations.

    “After this test, we will carefully analyse the collected information to determine in what conditions it would be possible for Robert to return to competition in the upcoming years,” said Renault F1’s managing director Cyril Abiteboul.

    Kubica will be joined by Renault junior driver Nicholas Latifi.

    Rules state that two of the four in-season test days must be completed by rookies. Kubica, who raced in 76 F1 races before his accident, does not count as a rookie.

    As Nico Hulkenberg completed the Bahrain test, Renault will only have one test day remaining for a current driver.

    Also confirmed for the Hungary test at the start of August is George Russell (Mercedes), Nikita Mazepin (Force India), Lucas Auer (Force India), Luca Ghiotto (Williams), Felipe Massa (Williams), Santino Ferrucci (Haas), Nobuharu Matsushita (Sauber), Gustav Malja (Sauber), and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari).

    Red Bull, Toro Rosso, and McLaren are yet to announce their line-up, and Ferrari hasn’t confirmed whether Kimi Raikkonen or Sebastian Vettel will join Leclerc for the test.

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

    The first in-season test got underway at the Bahrain International Circuit and unfortunately, there were more problems for McLaren-Honda. Oliver Turvey, who the team chose to put in the car for the first day, only got 17 laps in during the session due to multiple mechanical issues.

    The Mercedes also encountered a problem, although minor, when Lewis Hamilton stopped on track, causing the first red flag of the session. Despite this, Hamilton still ended the day on top with a 1:31.358.  The second red flag was due to Gelael stopping on track in the Toro Rosso. The Formula 2 driver set the 8th quickest time of the day with a 1:33.885.

    Ferrari chose rookie Antonio Giovinazzi to do the young driver testing, while Sebastian Vettel drove another Ferrari to test out Pirelli's unmarked 2018 tyres. Sebastian Vettel also ran a few hours longer than everyone else because of technical issues.

In-Season Test 2 - (Silverstone) Day 2 / Re-Cap & Times

IN-SEASON TESTING / DAY 2 / RE-CAP & TIMES

    Kimi Raikkonen was on top of the timings after the second day of testing at Silverstone. The Ferrari driver set a time of 1:30.665 in the final day after Merecedes’ Esteban Ocon dominated the rest of the day.

    Young driver Ocon had been at the top of the timings after a quiet morning session, filling the Mercedes seat for a second day in a row. The French driver set his fastest time of the day – a 1:31.212 – in the morning, and it stayed the fastest time of the day until fifty minutes before the end of the day.

    Pierre Gasly was looking to prove himself in the Red Bull. The Frenchman has his eye on Daniil Kvyat’s Toro Rosso seat. Gasly was able to set the third fastest time, just over two tenths of a second slower than Ocon’s time.

    Also from the Red Bull paddock was Sergio Sette Camara, who was taking his first spin in a Formula One car. The Brazilian was running in the Toro Rosso car and was eighth in the standings when his first spin almost ended his running prematurely. The teenager lost the back end of the car on the pit straight before the lunch break, sending him into a spin. Sette Camara was able to regain control after half a spin and continued, eventually finishing the day with a time of 1:34.040.

    One young driver extremely keen to impress every chance he gets is Stoffel Vandoorne. Vandoorne returned to the seat of the McLaren after Fernando Alonso set the fastest time of the day yesterday. Vandoorne couldn’t match the Spaniard’s session topping time, ending the day fifth fastest and nearly half a second slower than Alonso.

    The slowest of the 2016 cars was Manor and Jordan King. King was on a programme to test specific aero updates, though, so his lack of pace wasn’t entirely his own fault.

 TIMES: 

1. Kimi Raikkonen – 1:30.665 / Ferrari-Ferrari / 103 Laps
2. Esteban Ocon - 1:31.212 / Mercedes-Mercedes (W07) / 139 Laps
3. Pierre Gasly 1:31.429 / Red Bull-TAG-HEUER / 103 Laps
4. Nikita Mazepin – 1:31.561 / Force India- Mercedes / 69 Laps
5. Stoffel Vandoorne - 1:31.764 / McLaren-Honda / 114 Laps
6. Valtteri Bottas – 1:32.423 / Williams-Mercedes / 98 Laps
7. Santino Ferrucci - 1:33.141 / Haas-Ferrari / 107 Laps
8. Jolyon Palmer – 1:33.308 / Renault-Renault / 98 Laps

In Season Test 2 - (Silverstone) Day 1 / Re-Cap & Times

   

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

    Lots of familiar faces and a few not-so-familiar faces on Day 1 of the second and last in-season test for 2016. Sauber is the only team not attending the test as they chose to withdraw as they confirmed they have nothing new to test for their 2016 car. The day consisted of sunny conditions in the AM and continuous rain in the PM, but none the less, there was plenty of running completed.

    Mercedes is running two cars in this test including their current W07 with Esteban Ocon behind the wheel and Pascal Wehrlein in their 2014 car, the W05. Wehrlein is helping test the 2017 spec Pirelli tyres.

    Red Bull has chosen to use Pierre Gasly on both days and the team opted to run the Halo 2 during the session. Red Bull is one of two teams currently trying to appeal the Halo being used next year as a new form of added head protection. Gasly endured a wiring issue in the early morning of the session but was later able to get running again and completed a total of 50 laps for the team.

    Charles Leclerc got his taste of the Ferrari as the team chose to run him. Leclerc recently drove for Haas in FP1 during the recent British GP weekend and also leads the GP3 Drivers Championship.

    While Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, Pascal Wehrlein and Rio Haryanto are all current F1 drivers, there were a handful of potential F1 drivers as well. Apart from Leclerc, Gasly and Ocon - also out on track were: Alex Lynn, Sergey Sirotkin, Santino Ferrucci and Nikita Mazepin.
   
    A red flag was called out in the later half of the session due to a large piece of wood falling from the lighting near the pit-lane straight. Once it was removed, the session was back underway.

TIMES:

1. Fernando Alonso - 1:31.290 / McLaren-Honda / 105 Laps

2. Esteban Ocon - 1:32.833 / Mercedes-Mercedes (W07) / 123 Laps
3. Alex Lynn - 1:34.433 / Williams-Mercedes / 54 Laps
4. Charles Leclerc - 1:34.466 / Ferrari-Ferrari / 19 Laps
5. Nikita Mazepin - 1:34.521 / Force India-Mercedes / 35 Laps
6. Carlos Sainz - 1:34.643 / Toro Rosso-Ferrari / 91 Laps
7. Santino Ferrucci - 1:34.866 / Haas-Ferrari / 55 Laps
8. Pascal Wehrlein - 1:34.982 / Mercedes-Mercedes (W05 - Pirelli Test) / 48 Laps
9. Rio Haryanto - 1:35.631 / Manor-Mercedes / 64 Laps
10. Sergey Sirotkin - 1:36.575 / Renault-Renault / 48 Laps
11. Pierre Gasly - 1:43.891 / Red Bull-TAG-HEUER / 50 Laps
