Teams will enjoy mild temperatures and clear skies once again at the Circuit de Catalunya on the second day of the final week of pre-season testing.

As everyone works overtime running through their programmes to catch on last week's lost mileage, today's session will run uninterrupted from 9am to 6pm CET, with no lunch break.

Mercedes, Williams and Renault will once again split duties between their respective drivers, while Daniel Ricciardo, who found himself a bit under the weather earlier this week, will be back behind the wheel today with Red Bull.

The Honey Badger may have passed on his germs to Kimi Raikkonen however as the Finn is the one who has now fallen ill! He'll therefore sit out the session and let Sebastian Vettel continue Ferrari's test programmes.

Estaban Ocon, Brendon Harley, Romain Grosjean and Charles Leclerc all start their first of two days of testing this morning.

As usual, you can catch us LIVE from the Circuit de Catalunya from 8:45am CET. Just click here.
