F1 2018 Testing Final Day 8 / Week 2 Day 4 (F1 2018 News) 

Fernando Alonso set the second fastest time on the final day of pre-season testing to end two difficult weeks for McLaren on a high.

The two-time champion was 0.563 seconds slower than Kimi Raikkonen, who ensured Ferrari topped the times on both the final two days.

The Finn's time was just short of team-mate Sebastian Vettel's on Thursday.

McLaren still had problems - a turbo failure kept Alonso in the pits for five hours - but he managed 83 laps.

It meant it was a relatively successful final day for McLaren, whose preparations for the season have been hit by a series of reliability problems throughout the eight days of running in Spain.
