Charles Leclerc has ended the final morning session from the Barcelona shakedown on top of the timesheet for Ferrari.
The Monegasque driver clocked a 1:16.653, which is just a couple of tenths slower than the fastest time of the test so far, set by George Russell on Thursday.
Oliver Bearman set the highest number of laps in the opening hours and was the only driver to breach the century mark.
After tallying just four laps on Thursday, Aston Martin got more mileage under its belt on Friday morning with Fernando Alonso behind the wheel.
Audi, who has faced a challenging week so far, also managed 66 laps across the morning - by far its most productive session of the test.
