Pérez quickest in Barcelona
Thursdays running saw a slight shakeup in the running order as the Mexican Sergio Perez climbed to the top of the order in his Sauber C30. Completing the testing podium were Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Red Bull's Mark Webber. Noticeably absent today was the McLaren squad who took today off to analyze their data but will continue tomorrow.
