LIVE! F1 Preseason Testing: Test Two, Day Four

Is it all over already? Well, not quite, but we have arrived at the final day of pre-season testing in Barcelona. We traditionally see a few glory runs, but Ferrari may have already blown everyone out of the water with Charles Leclerc's Thursday efforts.

Leclerc lowered the benchmark to 1:16.231 – a time good enough for third on the grid in last year's Spanish Grand Prix and almost a second faster than the quickest lap seen here at this time last year – delivered by new team-mate Sebastian Vettel on that occasion.

Vettel returns to action today, having seen his previous effort in the car curtailed by a crash into the barriers which wiped out much of Ferrari's running on day two of this test.

Max Verstappen may look to test the limits of the Red Bull, although only if the car is sufficiently rebuilt after Pierre Gasly's turn-nine wreck on Thursday.

Perhaps don't expect fireworks from Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, with Mercedes generally opting against putting in hot laps at this time of year.

Robert Kubica will be back in the Williams, hoping to help the under-fire team hit 100+ laps for every day in the second test.
