The fastest times and most driven laps of the second test week in Barcelona

Not one team consistently had problems throughout the two weeks in Barcelona. Mercedes had an 'off-day' with an engine issue, but that didn't crop up in the final day of winter testing. 

Fastest times

As expected, the fastest times were mostly driven on the third and final day of the test week. The fastest time of the second test week went to Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas. Max Verstappen follows the Finn in second place. He was just a little bit faster than his old teammate Daniel Ricciardo. The Renault seems to be a competitive car this year because Esteban Ocon also set a fast time with the RS20.

Most laps

Ferrari went under the radar.  We did not see many fast times from the Scuderia, only Leclerc squeezed out a reasonable lap on the final test day. The team did by far the most laps on the Barcelona Circuit. A striking second place went to Williams. They were able to complete a total of 413 laps in test week two.
