McLaren racked up the most kilometres at the second of three pre-season Formula 1 test sessions last week. The mammoth efforts of Maldonado, Senna and Bottas put Williams second overall. Thanks to their chassis problem, Lotus shot from most mileage in Jerez to lowest of those attending the Circuit de Catalunya.
Mercedes enjoyed a strong first run with its 2012 car, whereas Ferrari lost time as it experimented with different parts. Charles Pic did a stellar job on his Marussia debut but Caterham was hit by technical problems on two of the days. HRT’s place at the bottom of this list was cemented as the team passed its final two crash tests.
The Barcelona (1) mileage table looks like this:
1. McLaren 464 laps / 2,159.9 km / 1,334.0 mi
- ran on all four days
2. Williams 454 laps / 2,113.4 km / 1,305.3 mi
