Teams launch their second week of pre-season testing today at the Circuit de Catalunya with the hope of enjoying four days of running free from the vagaries of the weather.
Conditions last week wreaked havoc on teams' test and development programmes, so everyone will be eager to get quickly down to work to pick up where they left off last Thursday, supported by much warmer temperatures and a sunny sky.
Furthermore, to compensate for last week's weather-impacted shortened sessions, testing will run uninterrupted from 9am to 6pm CET on Wednesday and Friday.
Mercedes, Williams and Renault will split their day's work between their drivers while everyone else is scheduled to allocate two full days of running to each driver.
Valtteri Bottas will kick off the day for Mercedes, while Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen will do the same respectively for Ferrari and Red Bull.
Daniel Ricciardo was initially scheduled to drive today but the Aussie is apparently feeling a bit under the weather, forcing the Milton Keynes-based outfit to slot in Verstappen a day early. Hopefully Ricciardo will be up and running on Wednesday.
Finally, one will note that Robert Kubica will be back behind the wheel on Thursday and Friday morning.
We'll of course be live from the Circuit de Catalunya from 9am. Just click here.
