And that's a wrap! The fifth and final day of private testing at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya has concluded, and for almost all of those present, it has been a very productive week.
There were 12 drivers on track across the day, and it was Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who went quickest in the morning, before Lewis Hamilton took over in the SF-26.
Hamilton topped the afternoon session on the final day, setting the quickest lap time of the entire test. The Ferrari driver set a 1m 16.348, to go two-tenths clear of Lando Norris.
Leclerc's morning lap was enough to end Day 5 in third, ahead of Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.
