Overview

Report

Day 1

McLaren once again had a day full of problems when Jenson Button's car received a hydraulic leak after he completed seven days. The time to change the car's power unit meant that the team could not run again for the day.[14] There was also a mechanical problem for Mercedes, when the MGU-K on Lewis Hamilton's car failed, forcing him to miss the afternoon session with the third fastest time at the end.[15] He explained: "I don't think it's dented anything. Testing is difficult. Of course, if you can have the whole day and it's sunny and the tyres are working every time you can go out and do tons and tons of changes and learn things about where you want to put the car. So, naturally, that is what we are missing."[16]

Only a few minutes after the morning session began, Daniil Kvyat's car stopped in the pit lane, bringing out the red flags. He was fourth fastest ahead of Romain Grosjean, the fastest driver from the previous Barcelona test. Toro Rosso added radical revisions such as a new front nose to their STR10 car. Carlos Sainz, Jr. made the red flags come out a second time when his car stopped at Turn 10. He was, however, able to take part in the final 30 minutes of the session, setting the seventh fastest time. Because the VJM08 car would not arrive in Barcelona until the second day, Force India did not attend on the first day.[15]

The fastest time, 1:23.500, was set by Williams' driver Felipe Massa, who was 0.776 seconds faster than Sauber's Marcus Ericsson.[15] Speaking afterwards, Massa said: "I think we needed to prove that we are there in the fight, we don’t know how much with Mercedes, but to the others I think we are there. I am pretty happy, but it is still early."[16]
