Lights Out: Ferrari end pre-season on top
Kimi Raikkonen might not have been able to match Sebastian Vettel's record-breaking efforts, but Ferrari will leave the pre-season test in Barcelona feeling strong, but the mystique surrounding Mercedes ensures we're in for a thrilling season. It's lights out for Saturday morning!
MUST READ
Testing is done for this pre-season and a glance at the timesheets alone would have you believe the red cars will be dominant in 2018.
Raikkonen and Vettel showed off their one-lap potential in the back-end of the week, but Fernando Alonso was the surprise name joining them in dipping below one minute and 18 seconds, the McLaren ending strongly after another difficult morning.
For a full rundown of lap times and mileage from pre-season, head over here.
And if you prefer pictures to paint the words for you, check out our pre-season gallery.
You don't get any prizes for pre-season, but Matthew Scott handed out some winners medals and a couple of wooden spoons.
And, finally, the future of Daniel Ricciardo has been a hot topic in Barcelona. Red Bull boss Christian Horner put the team's cards on display here.
