Day 6 of pre-season testing kicks off as usual this morning at 9:00 CET, and we'll be on deck to provide live timing and commentary.

Teams are likely to ramp up their performance once more after yesterday, which saw both marathon men Felipe Massa and Sebastian Vettel achieve the equivalent of two and a half races in one day!

Max Verstappen, Kimi Raikkonen, Sergio Perez, Romain Grosjean and Carlos Sainz take over from their respective team mates.

Renault, Williams and Sauber are likely to continue to rotate their drivers between the morning and afternoon sessions.

Finally, McLaren's Fernando Alonso will have his fingers crossed when he climbs aboard the team's MCL32, hoping for a relief in Honda's troubling engine woes which have put the team on its backfoot.

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.
