Lando Norris ended the opening day of test two in Barcelona on top of the timesheets, despite causing two red flags throughout the day.
The Briton stopped on the exit of Turn 3 in the morning session, before doing so again in the final 30 minutes after Turn 2. However, the McLaren driver's 1:17.709 was good enough to see him retain the top spot at the chequered flag.
Pierre Gasly was second in the Red Bull, after topping the morning session. The gap between Norris and Gasly read just 0.006s.
Stroll was third for Racing Point, ahead of the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel. The Maranello squad split driving duties between Vettel and Charles Leclerc on Tuesday, however Leclerc's running was limited as the team worked on the car's cooling system this morning.
Giovinazzi was fifth, however his day ended sourly as he stopped on the pit lane exit right at the end of the session. Albon was sixth, ahead of the second Ferrari of Charles Leclerc.
Magnussen was eighth, while Williams had a more positive day, setting 118 laps with Russell behind the wheel. Last week, the Grove squad managed just 88 laps after arriving at testing late.
Daniel Ricciardo rounded out the top ten ahead of the Mercedes duo of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, while Nico Hulkenberg was last of the timed runners.
Circuit de Catalunya - 26 February 2019
Could someone please post some thoughts or context regarding the tyres used for those times, or if they were doing long runs, etc? I am not even sure how to read the times table. Is the tyre color the one with which they did their fastest time?
Today:
Norris, c4
Gasly, c3
Stroll, c5
Vettel, c3
Giovinazzi, c4
Albon, c4
Magnussen, c4
Williams, c5
Ricciardo, c3
Mercedes, c2
C1 is the hardest compound, c5 the softest
Estimated time gap between compounds, according to Pirelli:
C1-c2: 0,9 sec
C2-c3: 0,7 sec
C3-c4: 0,6 sec
C4-c5: 0,6 sec
Pecking order according to fastest lap (adjusted to c5 compound)
Red Bull
Ferrari
McLaren
Haas
Renault
Toro Rosso
Alfa Romeo
Racing Point
Mercedes
Williams
Clearly we cant really look too much at times set, even adjusted for c5 compound
Thus far I personally have the pecking order at:
Ferrari
Red Bull
Mercedes
Renault and Alfa Romeo
McLaren, Toro Rosso and Haas
Racing Point
Williams
