And then there were 11.

On Monday, Sauber became the final team to reveal their 2016 Formula One car, just in time for the second and final pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The Swiss team recovered well from a pointless 2014 to finish eighth in the 2015 constructors' championship, claiming a couple of surprise results along the way.

And following the launch of the Ferrari-powered C35 car, they want more of the same this season as Sauber hope to reclaim their status as a solid, reliable, punchy midfield team.

At this stage, there is every chance that Sauber could still be ahead of McLaren-Honda in the pecking order.

McLaren's racing director Eric Boullier has revealed the team are satisfied with Honda's progress with its V6 turbo power unit over the winter, but they are still not happy enough after the MP4-31 proved to be increasingly unreliable and so very slow at the first test.

With Honda bringing an updated engine to the second test, though, Boullier believes McLaren will soon have a true understanding of where they stand.

Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, meanwhile, have agreed that Williams appear to be in good shape after another under-the-radar display at the first test, claiming the Grove-based team have successfully addressed their 2015 weaknesses.

Elsewhere, Manor boss Dave Ryan has defended Rio Haryanto after the Indonesian endured an incident-packed start to his career at the first test.

Haryanto suffered two off-track excursions in consecutive days, but Ryan has insisted such errors are to be expected of a driver with such limited experience in F1 machinery.

Closing this week's roundup is Haas driver Romain Grosjean, who fears F1 is missing a trick by refusing to embrace social media.
