Barcelona I – The F1 testing schedule

The second private test session of the Formula 1 season will begin this Thursday, for four days, at the Spanish circuit of Barcelona-Catalonia, after the first four days held in Jerez at the beginning of the month.

All the teams will be present unlike in Jerez, where the Sahara Force India team was absent. The Indian team will be present in Barcelona, however, its drivers will be running with an evolved 2014 car – the VJM07 – and not the VJM08, which will be seen on the circuits.

Furthermore, as mentioned earlier this week in the German press, Pascal Wehrlein will be driving for Force India during two of the four scheduled days. The two main drivers of the Indian team, Sergio Perez and Nico Hülkenberg, will each have just one day of driving.

At Williams F1, it is Susie Wolff who will open the day during the first day of testing, before being replaced by Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa in the following days. On the Lotus side, Jolyon Palmer, appointed as the third driver for the Enstone team at the start of the season, will have the opportunity to drive for a day on Friday.

The teams unveiled their respective programs in recent days, so here is a team-by-team recap of the drivers who will be in action each day from Thursday, February 19 to Sunday, February 22 in Barcelona.
