Valtteri Bottas and Williams topped the timesheets at the end of the second day of the final 2016 Formula One pre-season test.

The Finn used supersoft Pirelli tyres to lap the Circuit de Catalunya in one minute, 23.261 seconds, knocking reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton down into second. However, the Mercedes man's time—four-tenths down on Bottas—was set on the slower, soft-compound rubber.

Kevin Magnussen was third for Renault, just ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.

Twelve of the 22 drivers were in action on Day 2, with only Mercedes splitting the workload. Sergio Perez replaced Nico Hulkenberg at Force India, while Jenson Button was in for Fernando Alonso at McLaren.

Marcus Ericsson got his hands on the new Sauber C35 for the first time, Vettel took over from Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari and Daniel Ricciardo had his first drive of the week for Red Bull. Pascal Wehrlein and Carlos Sainz Jr. were also in their cars for the first time at the second test, stepping in at Manor and Toro Rosso, respectively.

Elsewhere, Esteban Gutierrez, Bottas and Magnussen continued for a second day in the Haas, Williams and Renault, respectively. Unless the teams decide to change their schedules for the final two days, all three have now driven their cars for the final time before the teams pack up and head to Australia for the opening race of the season.

Here's what we learned from Day 2.
