First up, it's Valtteri Bottas! He finished fastest in yesterday's testing session posting a 1:16.904. This was over half a second faster than Lewis Hamilton's qualfiying time on the same track, in the same car, on Saturday. No wonder he's looking ahead to Monaco! 

To the hospitality crew who makes sure there’s food at the track, cleans up after us, and are always smiling, thank you! #F1 #RedBullFamily pic.twitter.com/6xX1gI3hjV

Toro Rosso are ensuring moral remains high in their garage! A special shoutout was given to their behind the scenes staff. No doubt many of them unsung hero's! It's not been the easiest season start for the team. 

Update - @KevinMagnussen was stopped as a precaution. Engineering types saw something they didn’t like so told him to park the #VF18 up.#F1Testing #HaasF1 pic.twitter.com/83xBwNpToY

Not a bad couple of days for Haas. Overall they finished 7th and 9th and for a while Gorsjean was running top of the pile! Reliabiltiy was good until this tweet came out, something Haas are looking to improve upon. 

Great job from our 2019 tyre testers this morning: @ForceIndiaF1 and @McLarenF1. And we’ve still got a busy afternoon to go at #F1Testing @Circuitcat_eng pic.twitter.com/EZPkweuKJs

It wasn't just the racing teams getting some track action over the two days! F1's 11th team Pirelli borrowed a couple of cars to work on the tyres. A very important of F1!

Last but not least, how could we not include those jazzy lights on the back of the Mercedes! Looking very helpful for wet races!
