Pre-season testing starts its third day of Week 2 today in Barcelona, and slowly but surely teams are ramping up performance.

It was a long day of work yesterday for Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo who racked up 165 laps, but well worth it for the Aussie who concluded the session with the fastest lap and a new unofficial lap record of the Circuit de Catalunya.

The Milton Keynes-based team is unlikely to remain unchallenged however as Mercedes and Ferrari dial in more speed and drivers break the 1m18s barrier.

Here are the teams' line-ups for Thursday, possibly subject to change.

We'll be LIVE from Barcelona from 8:45am CET to bring you the actions, news, pictures and everything you need to know. Just click here.
