| The 2007 world champion went fastest straight out the blocks and was
never displaced, as four fast stints in the morning allowed him to get
down to a 1m19.670s - faster than any testing laps at the Spanish track
throughout 2011. It was also faster than anyone else would manage all day, particularly
with the afternoon session proving slower than the morning.Force India's Paul di Resta came closest to displacing Raikkonen at the top of the timesheets, missing out by just over one tenth of a second. A successful day was boosted by the fact the Scot was able to complete over 100 laps. .Nico Rosberg, in charge of Mercedes's 2011 W02 in the morning, finished third fastest. |

| The other most noticeable departures from the C30 are at the rear, with a redesigned gearbox allowing for more tightly packaged bodywork and a reconfigured floor. Team principal Peter Sauber said that the aim was to keep the car competitive throughout the season and improve on last year's seventh place in the constructors' championship. Chief designer Matt Morris said that the car would receive a major upgrade prior to the opening race of the season.

| Following the Sauber and Red Bull launches earlier today, the new driver line-up of Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne revealed the STR7 to the media. The car follows the trend of having a step between the nose and the front of the chassis, but retains the innovative double floor concept from last year's car. Team principal Franz Tost said he had full confidence in his team ahead of the start of the new season. Tost added that he was aiming for seventh or possibly sixth in the constructors' championship and that his target was based on the resources available to the team. |

| The FW34 is the first Williams to be produced since the major change of technical line-up at the team, which saw erstwhile technical director Sam Michael head for McLaren and co-founder Patrick Head step away from the F1 side of the operation. Mark Gillan now leads the technical side of the operation. The new car also sees the reunion of the multiple championship winning Williams-Renault partnership, as the Grove team switches from its previous Cosworth V8s. |

| Adrian Newey's latest design incorporates the stepped nose seen on many
other 2012 cars, meaning McLaren is currently the only team not to go
down that route. Newey confirmed that despite the visually different
nose, the RB8 is still an evolution of the previous car but he was
unaware how much the exhaust-blown diffuser ban would impact on its
relative performance.
Team principal Christian Horner added that the car build had gone
"fantastically well" and that the team was fully prepared for the start of testing.. |
