Barcelona F1 test day two

Live Text

Sort by
Day two of F1 testing begins. Rookies Norris and Albon head straight out for McLaren and Toro Rosso.
Plenty of engines running in the garages already, hopefully that means we'll see some cars heading straight out when the track opens in 60 seconds.
Curious to know what a non-Red Bull Ricciardo helmet looks like? Well you'll have to wait a bit longer, because unless he's a fan of wrestlers who never quite hit the big time, we assume this is a design he is only using for testing (Motorsport Images)

Oh, and we have a newcomer in at Renault too. Some fella called Ricciardo. Nope, we've never heard of him either.
It's the turn of the next generation in a lot of the teams today, with Leclerc in at Ferrari, Gasly at Red Bull, Norris at McLaren, Giovinazzi at Alfa Romeo, and Albon at Toro Rosso. We nearly typed 'and Russell at Williams', but we learned yesterday that Williams won't be running today, either. Fingers crossed the team can get out tomorrow.
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage from the second day of 2019 Formula 1 testing at Barcelona.
