In its review of the first three days of testing, Mercedes said that they could not accurately predict the performance levels of their rivals based on the available data, but added that Ferrari did not use the same engine power as their customers Alfa Romeo and Haas.

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas are delighted with the reliability and speed of the new Mercedes F1 car for 2020, setting the two fastest laps in Barcelona's first preseason test, as well as completing the most laps as a team.

Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest time on the second day of Barcelona's first preseason test using the softest Pirelli tyres, but also caused the first red flag on this year's tests when stopped due to a technical problem while Mercedes tried out an innovative steering system called DAS .

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas set two fastest times on the first day of Barcelona's first Test and drove 151 laps together, but Max Verstappen gave Red Bull 161 laps to complete most laps out of all the teams.

McLaren team tested their new F1 car for 2020 MCL35 for the first time, three days after the car launch and three days before the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona.
