Robert Kubica has ended the morning session of testing from Barcelona on top of the timesheets, clocking a 1:16.942 for Alfa Romeo. The Polish driver’s time was set on the C5 compound, the softest Pirelli tyre available to the teams during testing. Behind Kubica came Pierre Gasly, as both AlphaTauri and Red Bull had less productive morning compared to the test sessions that they went through last week.
Steady once again for Scuderia Ferrari, not showing anything more than they showed in the first test. The Maranello team tested a new rear wing, and a tweak on the front wing as well, but they still haven’t set the timing screens alight. Sebastian Vettel took to the track in the morning session, completing 84 laps, with a personal best of 1:18.113. Seb had a spin at Turn 7 which caused a red flag due to gravel being deposited on the circuit. However, he avoided the barrier and returned the garage.
After the lunch break, Charles Leclerc will take over driving duties for Scuderia Ferrari at the Circuit de Catalunya, in the first day of the last week of pre-season testing.
