F1 Barcelona Pre-Season Test: Day 4 Morning Results Unleashed!
The excitement is palpable as the fourth day of the Barcelona pre-season test kicks off with a flurry of action on the track! Mercedes has once again stolen the spotlight, showcasing their prowess with a staggering performance led by the prodigious Kimi Antonelli, who has been nothing short of sensational, racking up nearly 90 laps in a single morning. But that’s not all—the Italian prodigy has also shattered the session’s lap record, clocking in an impressive 1:17.081, leaving competitors scrambling to catch up!
In a thrilling display, Lewis Hamilton returned to the track, donning the Ferrari colors and proving he’s still a force to be reckoned with. He matched Antonelli’s intensity, completing almost the same number of laps as the Mercedes driver. However, while Hamilton showcased his legendary skill, he found himself trailing behind McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who secured the second-fastest time of the morning, just 1.338 seconds off the pace.
The morning session saw only five cars take to the asphalt, intensifying the competition as each driver pushed their limits. Liam Lawson and Sergio Perez followed closely, with Perez representing Cadillac, while Lawson’s Racing Bulls team continued to gain traction in the standings. Aston Martin is poised to join the fray later today, with the anticipation building around Lance Stroll’s impending performance.
Here’s how the morning session unfolded:
1. Kimi Antonelli – Mercedes: 1:17.081 (90 laps) 2. Oscar Piastri – McLaren: +1.338 seconds (48 laps) 3. Lewis Hamilton – Ferrari: +1.573 seconds (87 laps) 4. Liam Lawson – Racing Bulls: +1.782 seconds (64 laps) 5. Sergio Perez – Cadillac: +4.268 seconds (38 laps)
