Webber ends up Day 1 on top in Barcelona
Mark Webber turned the fastest driver on day one of testing at Barcelona after Sergio Perez’s best time was deleted. Perez was originally credited with the fastest lap. But his time of 1’21.176 was deleted after it was discovered he had cut a corner in his lap. His actual best time of 1’24.117 put him fourth.
Webber set his benchmark time in the morning, lapping two seconds faster than the other cars on the track. The test began on a damp but drying track.
Jenson Button put his McLaren third fastest after running with an unusual lump on the car’s nose early on.
