BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Ferrari's Antonio Giovinazzi was fastest on the first morning of this week's in-season test as the last F1 action got underway at the Hungaroring ahead of the summer break.
The two-day test amounts to half of F1's in-season testing allocation and saw nine of F1's ten teams take to the track just two days after Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix. Haas was the only team not to run as it had no new parts to test ahead of F1's enforced summer break through the middle of August.
Under F1's strict testing regulations, at least two of the four in-season test days have to be completed by a driver with less than three grands prix of experience, resulting in a mix of race and reserve drivers on track.
