F1 Testing Day 2: Vettel again fastest in Barcelona

UPDATE

Vettel

Sebastian Vettel was back in action at the Catalunya track this morning, for the second day of the four day session.

His program concentrated on mechanical set-up work and a look at the softer end of the tire compound range, as he did runs on the Supersoft, new Ultrasoft and Soft.

The German completed 46 laps prior to the lunch break, the best in a time of 1.22.810, set on the Ultrasoft tires.

Vettel recorded a fastest lap time beat his Monday benchmark by over two seconds.

Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo also tried Pirelli's new product, ending the day seven tenths of a second behind his former team-mate.

Sergio Perez placed third for Force India, a tenth slower than Ricciardo, having only used the Super Softs during an afternoon run.

Mercedes again led the mileage charts, this time with Nico Rosberg in action, as the F1 W07 completed almost three race distances.

Rosberg's best effort came on the Medium tire, leaving him two seconds adrift.
