F1 test wrap: Barcelona week one by the numbers

Formula 1's first pre-season test came to a close on Thursday with Sebastian Vettel's best lap from Tuesday being the fastest of the week.

But it was clear that this first test was not about ultimate performance, and was more about system checks and endurance running – which is where world champion Mercedes focused much of its effort.

There were a few headline-grabbing times from various people though, with the overall order behind Vettel being dominated by those teams that had opted to bring some softer tyres.

And while Mercedes never tried for times with anything other than mediums, second fastest Nico Hulkenberg's overall position was on supersofts – ahead of ultrasoft runners Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo.

Here are the best times and tyres from the first Barcelona test:
