Chilton tops Barcelona F1 post-race test

Your eyes are not deceiving you. A Marussia was fastest today as F1 teams began the second in-season test of 2014 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It is likely the Marussia was in qualifying trim and the other cars on full tanks.

Today was a pretty normal test day. Teams completed a lot of practice starts and tried a few different things with the car during the afternoon once the track dried out a bit. Of course, test days aren't as much fun as a race but it's part of the job.

Teams have got a busy week leading up to Monaco but they'll be doing some work back at the factory before that weekend. It's a massively demanding circuit and with the oversteer moments created by the extra torque from the cars this year drivers have to watch our proximity to the walls much more closely.
