Pre-season testing results in long days, with the schedule increased by an hour this week at the Circuit de Catalunya with a lunch break from 1-2pm seeing track action run until 6pm. That was greeted with delight from photographers, though, as the later finish allows the opportunity for beautiful sunset pictures like this one.
