Driver line-up fro Day 3 of pre-season testing

F1 teams kick off their third and final day of running at the Circuit de Catalunya as the first week of pre-season testing comes to an end.

Today, only four teams - Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Williams and Racing Point - have allocated a complete day to one driver.

Sebastian Vettel picks up for the Scuderia where he left off on Thursday, while Antonio Giovinazzi, Nicholas Latifi and Lance Stroll will be on duty all day for their respective teams.

Completing the field, Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren, Renault, Haas and AlphaTauri will all split their programmes between their two drivers.

As a reminder, Lewis Hamilton's fastest lap of 1m16.976s from the opening day of running in Barcelona still stands.

The morning starts at 9am local time and will run until 1pm, and then resume at 2pm until 6pm.
