Vettel fastest as new Mercedes makes track debut

RedBull-Racing's Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time of the day as the second week of preseason testing kicked off in Barcelona today. The reigning world champion completed 79 laps with a fastest time of 1m 23.265s 0.175 seconds faster then Force India's Nico Hulkenberg. Michael Schumacher was behind the wheel of the new Mercedes GP AMG W03 as it made it's track debut and he ended the day 6th fastest completing 51 laps.

However it was Daniel Ricciardo in the Toro Rosso who was the star of the day. The Australian who made his F1 debut with the HRT team last season set the fourth fastest time of the day.

It was a problematic day for the Caterham team as a broken track rod ended the team's day early. Lotus were also forced to pull out of today's session.
