Lewis Hamilton set the pace for Mercedes as the second pre-season test of 2013 drew to a close in Barcelona amid damp conditions on Friday.

The 2008 world champion’s best time around the Circuit de Catalunya was set on slick tyres during a brief break between rain showers.

The second- and third-quickest lap times of the day - posted by McLaren’s Jenson Button and Toro Rosso’s Jean-Eric Vergne - were also set during this period.

More to follow.

Unofficial Friday test times from Barcelona:
1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, 1:23.282, 52 laps
2. Jenson Button, McLaren, 1:23.633, 70 laps
3. Jean-Eric Vergne, Toro Rosso, 1:24.071, 80 laps

12. Pastor Maldonado, Williams, No time, 13 laps

Lap times and number confirm how abysmal this session was.

I was following the BBC live blog and it pretty much confirmed that the session was pretty much a write-off, lap times confirm that.

Hey, at least they got to try out the Wet and Inter tyers though, right?
