LIVE! F1 Preseason Testing: Test Two, Day Three

Ferrari will be making up for lost time on the penultimate day of pre-season testing, with Charles Leclerc set to have the SF90 all to himself after he was restricted to a solitary lap on Wednesday as a result of Sebastian Vettel's crash.

A mechanical failure sent Vettel into the barriers at turn three of the Circuit de Catalunya, as well as reportedly causing significant damage to the front-left wheel and suspension on the car.

Ferrari have subsequently altered their test-two run plan, which had been set to see both drivers get action each day.

However, with Leclerc having been only able to put in an installation lap in the final minutes of Wednesday's running, the Monegasque will get a proper run this time around.

McLaren's Carlos Sainz set the fastest time of the test so far, indeed his 1:17.144 was quicker than anyone managed last year.

It remains to be seen if the benchmark can be lowered further, perhaps towards last year's Spanish GP pole time – a 1:16.173 set by Lewis Hamilton.
