Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas edged Ferrari reserve driver Antonio Giovinazzi on the second morning of Formula 1 in-season testing in Spain on Wednesday.

Bottas and Giovinazzi swapped positions on a number of occasions throughout the four-hour session at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, held in warm but overcast conditions.

Bottas ultimately wound up ahead, posting a time of 1:16.904 on Supersofts tyres, leaving him 0.068s clear of Hypersoft-shod Giovinazzi in a session that ran green throughout, with both drivers racking up 60 laps.

Haas’ Kevin Magnussen (53 laps) was third-quickest while F2 championship leader Lando Norris (52 laps) finished fourth, having swapped from McLaren’s Pirell-run MCL33 to its own team for Wednesday’s running.
