F1's top 10 pre-season testing shocks

As F1's second pre-season test of the year kicks off at Barcelona, AUTOSPORT gathers up 10 of the most eye-catching shock 'winter world championship' moments from the sport's history

The second pre-season test of F1 2012 gets underway at Barcelona on Tuesday morning with Mercedes taking centre stage as it launches its MGP W03 - the car it hopes can move it closer to the dominant Red Bull squad - most of the rest adding to the mileage they achieved at Jerez, and Marussia and HRT yet to show off their new machines.
