Ferrari reached the hightest top speed on the main straight of the Circuit de Barcelona - Catalunya, although, like several other teams, benefited from the toe behind other cars,while Racing Point was fastest after the full-throttle Turn 3.

Ferrari has theoretically the best time in the second test in Barcelona, ​​which is obtained by summing the best sectors of their drivers, and in the three sectors of the tracks in Barcelona three different teams set the fastest times.

Max Verstappen is pleased with the pre-season tests and the new Red Bull RB16 as they tried everything they wanted and showed good speed, but he is aware that the car needs a lot of improvement at this early stage.

The current world champions dominated this year's tests with the best times, the most exciting innovation and the most laps, but other teams had very good preparations, with nine of them driving more than 80% Mercedes' laps.

Mattia Binotto is pleased with the way his team has done the preseason tests that they approached in a different way than last year, and added that speed in one lap is still not at the level it should be.

Sebastian Vettel thinks that the best time he set today doesn't mean much since the track was arguably the worst this year due to the rain which washed out all the rubber, but he is "pleased with the way testing went".

The world champions have confirmed that Lewis Hamilton stopped on the track due to engine problems, which limited his running to only 14 laps, and Mercedes had the worst day of the season with only 61 laps.

Sebastian Vettel stayed fastest by the end of the second day of the second Barcelona test after setting best time for Ferrari this year while Lewis Hamilton completed only 14 laps in the afternoon before he was hit with engine problems.

Robert Kubica remained fastest at the end of day one of Barcelona second test for Alfa Romeo, with Max Verstappen second fastest for Red Bull after a late loss of control of his RB16, causing a late red flag.

The driver schedule for the second Barcelona test, scheduled for February 26-29, has been announced, and most teams will split the test program between their two drivers on the first day.
