Massa would be familiar enough with it

Testing commenced at Barcelona today (Tuesday). 5 teams are present: McLaren, Williams, Red Bull, MF1 Racing and the new Super Aguri team.

Very few laps have been run so far with only Montoya, Raikkonen and Webber setting reasonably competitive lap times.

Takuma Sato in the Super Aguri has stopped after just 3 laps.

Further updates to follow

I'm sure Michael will avoid him for the first 3 laps

Provided of course, Sato doesn't get lapped by everyone within those 3 laps! He might get confused and think he's at the front (having started from pit lane due to an engine change...or two) instead of being caught by everyone...

These are very curious events don't you think? What would explain him spending all day doing in and out laps?

I like this a lot well done sgd there's a jug in the bar with your name engraved on it and a tab to keep it filled as long as I'm alive.

Something wasn't right on his car. Each time they send him out for an installation lap, they found out the problem hasn't been resolved or a new problem comes up.

The pdf for all the lap by lap times from all the drivers will be up shortly

Mark Webber in the Williams FW28 set the fastest time of the day on Tuesday in Barcelona ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Robert Doornbos.

Webber's best time was a 1:17.699. Kimi Raikkonen and Tiago Montiero covered the most number of lap with 59.

5 teams were present with 7 drivers setting lap times.

The day started cold but sunny but became wet in the afternoon.

There were several red flags during the session. The 2 Williams, Monteiro and Sato all had stops while Sato also spun in the wet in the afternoon.
Montoya had a transmission problem which kept him in the garage for the afternoon.

Testing continues tomorrow with Renault, Honda and Toyota joining the test.

Lap by lap times (in pdf)

Full report and times shortly

The lap-per-lap info is real info, isn't it?

from the fastest time alone you can not say too much... about Nico, I guess they were doing kind of some parts' shake down...
