Barcelona Testing 2 Live – Day 2
MotorsInside is present in Barcelona for the third and final session of private testing and, as with the first two, we offer to bring you live coverage of these four days of testing.
The Formula One Circus is back in Barcelona, Spain, as it was last week, for the continuation and conclusion of the winter testing for the season /f1/actualite/14963-essais-jerez-le-bilan-des-quatre-journees.html. All teams will be running with their cars from /f1/actualite/14963-essais-jerez-le-bilan-des-quatre-journees.html, but also, almost all of them with their line-up for the upcoming season, notably Force India, which has confirmed Adrian Sutil as Paul di Resta’s teammate. Uncertainty still looms over Luiz Razia’s seat, as he faces funding issues.
Motors Inside is present in the paddock of the Circuit de Catalunya for these tests but, as in Jerez and last week in Barcelona, we also offer you a live text to experience this second day of testing. Feel free to participate in this live by asking your questions throughout the day.
On today’s schedule, Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Jenson Button (McLaren), Romain Grosjean (Lotus), Nico Rosberg (Mercedes), Nico Hülkenberg (Sauber), Adrian Sutil (Force India), Valtteri Bottas (Williams), Daniel Ricciardo (Toro Rosso), Giedo van der Garde (Caterham), and Max Chilton (Marussia).
As a reminder, the Jerez tests had resulted in the fastest overall time by Felipe Massa and the first Barcelona tests had concluded with the fastest time by Sergio Pérez.
