Stats: Combined times, lap counts from the second pre-season test

The second pre-season Formula 1 test is done and dusted and that means no more action until the season-opening race in two weeks time, when we reconvene again in Melbourne for the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.

As always, we've compiled the quickest time by each driver from the second F1 test, the day they posted it and on what tyre, to help give a clearer picture of where everyone stands.

Whilst making assumptions based on test times alone is never wise, a clearer picture has begun to emerge. Ferrari and Mercedes look to be fairly even on pace, with Renault not far behind. Of course there is other data to take into account, such as fuel loads, power modes etc, so the overall picture won't be known until Melbourne.

The most notable thing to note is Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton got to within a tenth of the Spanish GP pole time, therefore claims these cars are slower than last year simply isn't true, that we can tell with confidence.

20 R. Kubica Williams 1:18.993 Day 4 C5

We've also compiled total laps by driver, team and power unit to give an idea as to how reliable the four-day test was for each team/supplier.

Lewis Hamilton again completed the most laps for Mercedes at 331, which is slightly more than managed at Test 1, followed by Haas' Kevin Magnussen on 278 – almost a grand prix distance down at 58 laps.

Williams made great strides during the second test after their opening troubles and George Russell clocked the sixth highest tally at 259, with Robert Kubica not far down on 220.

Total laps by driver

Mercedes topped the lap count again with 580, just a handful more than Renault on 528. Ferrari and Red Bull both suffered lost time due to big crashes, which can partly explain their lack of laps, although both suffered other reliability woes over the four days too, which further hampered their running.

As for power units, Mercedes were top this time thanks to solid reliability from each of its teams (Mercedes, Williams and Racing Point). Ferrari weren't far behind, with Renault third and Honda fourth.

On an average basis (divided by number of teams), Mercedes completed 478 laps per team, which is joint with Renault also on 478, Ferrari 433 and Honda 408.
