The driver line-up for Day 2 of pre-season testing

Formula 1 teams will continue their groundwork on Thursday at the Circuit de Catalunya for the second day of pre-season testing in Barcelona.

There will be a few new names added to the time sheet today, with Alex Albon taking over from Max Verstappen at Red Bull, Romain Grosjean handling testing for Haas and Kimi Raikkonen running for Alfa Romeo. Pierre Gasly will also be on track today for AlphaTauri.

Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault will split the day between their respective drivers.

As a reminder, Lewis Hamilton set the field's benchmark on the opening day with a lap in 1m16.976s.

Testing gets underway at 9am CET and will run until 6pm CET with a one hour lunchbreak between 1pm and 2pm.
