In-season F1 Test Barcelona Day 2 Recap
Track: Catalunya Circuit
Last day of testing was sunny and warm in Barcelona.
The quickest lap time of Valtteri Bottas was set in the morning session and wasn't beaten in the afternoon.
Stoffel Vandoorne who also tested yesterday, was working on the 2019 F1 tyres for Pirelli.
In the afternoon the session was red flagged 2 times because Kevin Magnussen in the Haas VF-18 and Lando Norris in the McLaren MCL33. They both parked their car in the first sector because of a minor issue.
Antonio Giovinazzi drove the most laps today. He drove 140 laps. The distance he drove today with 140 laps is around 652 km.
Testing in Barcelona is now finished. It was a rare opportunity to tryout experimental parts and to synchronise the windtunnel and simulator data back in the factory with the real life experience. Red Bull even let their simulator development driver Jack Dennis drive the RB14 on Circuit de Catalunya.
