Tuesday was one of four in-season test days scheduled for 2018, with a second day at Barcelona on Wednesday and a further two days after the Hungarian Grand Prix in August. The tests see a mix of experienced and junior drivers take to the track together as at least two of the four days for each team have to be completed by a driver with less than three grands prix to their name.

Verstappen's best time of 1:17.528 would have been good enough for seventh on Sunday's grid and was 0.7s slower than his qualifying time on Saturday. The lap was set on the hyper-soft tyre, which will make its race debut in Monaco and is the softest compound in Pirelli's range. It is not designed to be used on a track with as many high-speed corners as Barcelona, but teams will get some idea of how it will perform in Monte-Carlo in the twisty final sector of the Circuit de Catalunya.
