Engine problem: Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel was ninth of the 10 drivers on track in the morning, although teams were running on different fuel levels, but stopped with engine trouble 2-1/2 hours into the session with 40 laps done. The session was suspended for 20 minutes while the car was recovered. Ferrari said the engine problem would be investigated back at the Maranello factory. A new engine was fitted for the afternoon session and Vettel ended with 100 laps. There was still some evident concern at Ferrari, however, with team principal Mattia Binotto telling reporters he was less optimistic than at the same stage last season and rivals were quicker.
“How much faster? I think it’s really difficult to judge. We will go through all the data in the next days, but I don’t think we are as fast as them at the moment,” he said. “Do we have any concerns? Certainly yes, when you are not as fast as you would like to be.” Mercedes-powered Williams also brought out the red flags when Canadian rookie Nicholas Latifi stopped on the pit straight. He ended up last on the timesheets. The teams will test again at the Spanish circuit for three days next week before the season starts in Melbourne, Australia, on March 15.
