Barcelona test – Waiting for the new Mercedes nose, but Hamilton remains in civilian clothes

Today's program includes several driver changes in the teams: Raikkonen, Massa, Kvyat, Hulkenberg, Magnussen, Sainz, Nasr, Button, Haryanto and Grosjean will be the protagonists of the day, while Hamilton will not be present in the Catalan morning, replaced by yesterday's workaholic Nico Rosberg, at least until the lunch break.

Staying in Mercedes, on this rather cold morning in Montmelo - currently only 7°C on the circuit - a new and revolutionary nose could be tested on the W07, according to what emerged from the rumors, which would replace the now usual shape and structure, which was already used on the World Champion single-seater last season.

— Update 9.05 am
As expected, Rosberg comes out on the W07, which currently features the same aerodynamic configuration seen yesterday afternoon, followed after a few seconds by Carlos Sainz Jr on the promising Toro Rosso STR11 in a totally blue livery.
