Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen finished P5 in the second day of in-season testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, with Alfa Romeo managing to get their C38 repaired in time for the morning session after being written off by Callum Illot during yesterday’s track time. Kimi Raikkonen completed 110 laps as Alfa Romeo thus made up for the lost track time, with a best lap of 1:17.393. As in Bahrain, Formula 1 stayed on in Spain for two days of post-race running, with the circuit open for action on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nikita Mazepin has topped the timesheets on the second day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya. The Mercedes driver went quickest, despite bringing out the red flags with a spin. With many of the Formula 1 teams running young and inexperienced drivers to fulfill their young driver obligations for the last official day of testing in 2019, it was an unfamiliar name that topped the timesheets.

Russian driver Nikita Mazepin, currently racing in Formula 2 and a former test driver with Force India, was behind the wheel of the Mercedes W10 and set a fastest laptime of 1:15.775 to set the pace. His time was set during the afternoon session, having brought out the red flags earlier when he spun the car in the third sector and beached it in the gravel. Mazepin completed a total of 128 laps over his day.

Formula 1 action will resume next Thursday with practice for the Monaco Grand Prix.
