He would complete 82 laps setting the second fastest time of the day with a 1m:22.407. Nico had spent some of the morning working on longer runs before trying some qualifying simulations.

Sam Michael:
"Nico spent our first day of four in Barcelona working on set-up, long runs and systems checks, like cooling. We also did some aero testing. Tomorrow, Nico will drive Chassis 02 and continue working through our programme."

Nico Hülkenberg:
"We had a good day. I did quite a lot of laps on different set-ups so we can continue to learn how the car will react. It’s my last day tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to getting lots of laps in to be in the best possible shape for Bahrain."
