Lewis Hamilton became the new 2010 record holder of the Circuit de Catalunya when he concluded the final day of winter testing at the Barcelona circuit on Sunday. The young Brit finished ahead of Mark Webber, Felipe Massa and more astonishing Adrian Sutil when it came to the fastest time overall for the four day test. It should be noted however that the time was set during an ultimate lap.
Prior to this Nico Hülkenberg (on super soft rubber) had been the strongest man of the week and among the pilots who took to the wheel on the final day, only Schumacher, Barrichello and Kubica failed to oust their teammates earlier time.
The critics of the FIA’s latest idea, returning more independent teams to the grid, will notice that the best time set by Lucas Di Grassi is outside of the symbolic 107% qualifying system (1: 26.105) ,which was in place between 1996 and 2003, meaning he would not have made it to the starting grid had this of been an actual race weekend.
