Ricard Formula 2 testing: McLaren reserve Lando Norris fastest

Norris clocked the fastest time during the morning session, and it remained unbeaten across the remainder of the day's running.

His time of 1m42.226s was over eight tenths of a second faster than his Tuesday benchmark as he wound up 0.161s clear of Carlin team-mate Sergio Sette Camara, whose best time also came in the morning.

Unlike in Tuesday's wet/dry running, Norris did not lead both sessions, with Alexander Albon heading the times during the afternoon action.

Albon, who has switched to DAMS after racing for ART last season, placed third overall on the combined timesheets, within two tenths of Norris's fastest effort.

Renault F1 reserve driver Jack Aitken was fourth, in front of Louis Deletraz (pictured above) - who is this year driving for series newcomer Charouz, the team that guided Pietro Fittipaldi to the 2017 Formula V8 3.5 title.

GP3 graduate Arjun Maini finished sixth for Trident as his morning time eclipsed Prema's Nyck de Vries by just 0.001s, de Vries placing runner-up to ex GP3 team-mate Albon across the afternoon action.

Williams junior Oliver Rowland, testing once more for DAMS in place of the unwell Nicholas Latifi, wound up eighth, in front of Mercedes-backed GP3 champion George Russell and Honda protege Nirei Fukuzumi.
