With just one day to go for the second F1 2019 Barcelona test to begin, here’s a look at how the first test went on for different teams and drivers.
Experienced F1 writer and marketeer Omar Alvarez has prepared an infograph to depict the laps covered by each team along with the kilmoters done and the best time set by their driver which includes the compound they set it on too.
Without repeating those information, here’s the chart prepared for FormulaRapida.net:
As we can see, the quickest time was set by Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg at 1m17.393s, right at the fag end of the four-day test, after which the German had to stop the car and end his run. He set the time on the softest compound available.
Hulkenberg beat Toro Rosso’s Alexander Albon (1m17.637s), who also set his quickest time on the C5 compound on the final day of testing. As is the universal conclusion, times mean nothing with lap count and km taking centerstage.
If we look at the laps done, Hulkenberg did 247 in all as opposed to Albon’s 268. But before we get on to the lap count details, here’s a list of the the times set by the team’s second driver who are not mentioned in the above chart:
