Nyyeeoooommmm.
The single sound echoed throughout 16-turn Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Thursday as 16 drivers hit the track once again. Over a combined 1,000 laps, two red flags and the creation of one new racing term later, day two of Formula One's preseason testing came to a close.
Charles Leclerc dominated again, this time holding onto the fastest lap time at 1:19:689. However, Pierre Gasly from AlphaTauri came in a narrow second classification, hitting a 1:19:918 while also taking the most trips around the 2.892-mile circuit—a whopping 147.
And although more laps means more data, there are questions looming over the sport, both on and off the track.
