Barcelona Test 2 live – Day 3
MotorsInside is present in Barcelona for the third and final session of private testing, and as with the first two, we offer you live coverage of these four days of testing.
The Formula One Circus is back in Barcelona, Spain, as last week, for the continuation and conclusion of the winter testing for the season. All teams will run with their car, but also, and for the first time this year, with their lineup for the upcoming season since Adrian Sutil has been confirmed by Force India on Thursday, it was Jules Bianchi’s turn, an unsuccessful candidate for the Indian team’s seat, to be hired as the second driver for the Marussia team, replacing the very short-lived Luiz Razia, who was very sporting when commenting on this eviction.
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 are also offering you a live text to let you experience this third and penultimate day of testing. Feel free to participate in this live by asking your questions throughout the day.
On today’s agenda, Mark Webber (Red Bull), Felipe Massa (Ferrari), Sergio Pérez (McLaren), Kimi Räikkönen (Lotus), Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), Esteban Gutiérrez (Sauber), Adrian Sutil (Force India), Valtteri Bottas (Williams), Jean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso), Giedo van der Garde (Caterham), and Jules Bianchi (Marussia).
As a reminder, the first two days took place mostly on a wet track, which did not allow establishing a clear hierarchy. Nevertheless, on the first day, it was Mark Webber who finished on top at the wheel of his Red Bull, before Romain Grosjean set the fastest time during his tests on Friday, equipped with his Lotus.
