Published by Christine
Red Bull have remained at the top of the timesheets for the second day of testing in Barcelona, with Sebastian Vettel taking over driving duties from Mark Webber. Sébastien Buemi finished the day second for Toro Rosso, whilst Vitaly Petrov moved up to third for Renault.
Meanwhile, McLaren had a few mechanical troubles, including issues with the hydraulics, and their attempt at a full Grand Prix distance was thwarted. Lewis Hamilton finished the day fourth for McLaren just ahead of Felipe Massa in the Ferrari.
Further back, Mike Gascoyne sums up the day for Lotus:
Red flag to end the day, 98 laps and a productive day. Jarno in the car tomorrow morning and Heikki taking over at lunchtime

Trulli ended up ninth, ahead of Pastor Maldonado and Jérôme D'Ambrosio, with seven seconds covering the entire field.
