Romain Grosjean fastest on first morning of in-season test

BARCELONA, Spain -- Romain Grosjean set the fastest time on the first morning of this week's two-day test at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain.

The test is one of two in-season sessions attended by all F1 teams and will run on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. It takes place just two days after Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at the same circuit and a selection of regular names were back in action as well as various test and reserve drivers. Under the regulations, two of the four in-season test days must be driven by drivers with less than two grands prix of experience -- hence the mixed field for Tuesday morning's running.
