The second round of pre-season testing kicks off tomorrow in Barcelona and teams have confirmed their driver line-up for the week.

Renault in Williams are following Mercedes lead by rotating their drivers between the morning and after sessions, although Felipe Massa will have Tuesday to himself, no doubt to catch up on the track time lost following team mate Lance Stroll's crash last week.

Pascal Wehrlein will get his first taste of Sauber's 2017 C36, the German driver getting the all-clear from the doctors to return to duty following a back injury sustained at the ROC last month.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
