With the first week of testing in Barcelona at the Circuit de Catalunya behind us, we take a look at how many laps each driver has completed across the three days - the top two drivers are hardly a surprise!

As they have done in previous years, Mercedes have once again put the most mileage on their new car - at least in the first week of testing. The W11 and its much-discussed DAS system has rounded the Circuit de Catalunya 494, 23 laps more than the second-best team in Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. Ferrari, who stopped running twice because of mechanical issues, only logged 354 laps.

As for the drivers, it was Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen at the top of the list with the most laps completed. The Brit logged 273 laps across the three days of running - just over four race distances. 

Here is the full list of laps driven per driver, team, and which teammates have the biggest gap between them across all teams.
