The third and final day of the Barcelona portion of F1 pre-season testing is upon us, with all 20 drivers set to take to the track on Friday.
Charles Leclerc was fastest for Ferrari on day two, with McLaren starting the week on top thanks to Britain’s Lando Norris.
Nikita Mazepin will drive for Haas on Friday, but the team have dropped the branding of Russian sponsor Uralkali from their car and will run an all-white livery following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Two tests will take place before the first Grand Prix in Bahrain, with this the first opportunity for fans to get a look at the new cars following a major rule overhaul.
Plenty of attention will also be paid to Lewis Hamilton following his Abu Dhabi heartbreak. Having declared himself ready to fight for a record eighth title against reigning champion Max Verstappen, any early signs of superiority will no doubt be pored over.
And then there is the chance for an unexpected frontrunner to emerge, perhaps McLaren or Ferrari, with this season holding plenty of intrigue for fans.
