Daniel Ricciardo led the days pace for Red Bull on the second day of the second pre-season test in Barcelona. It was a tight day as Red Bull, Ferrari, Force India, Williams and Mercedes were all within a second of each other.<\/p>\n

Ferrari continued there good form with Kimi Raikkonen going ahead of former team-mate Felipe Massa who was third fastest. Sergio Perez managed fourth using last year\u2019s Force India. While Lewis Hamilton went faster than his team-mate Nico Rosberg as they shared driving duties.<\/p>\n

It was a good day for Spaniard Fernando Alonso and McLaren who had their most productive so far even though the team are still waiting for a replacement seal on the MGU-K component of Honda’s engine.<\/p>\n

GP2 Champion Jolyon Palmer went eighth fastest ahead of Marcus Ericsson\u2019s sauber and Toro Rosso’s Carlos Sainz Junior rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n

Sainz Jr triggered the red flags shortly after midday when he went off and into the gravel at Turn 9. Ericsson caused a separate stoppage when he came to a halt on the start-finish line half an hour from the finish.<\/p>\n
