Ferrari's Michael Schumacher topped the timesheets on the final day of testing at Barcelona.
The German was joined by Luca Badoer, both drivers at the wheel of an F2005.
The two Maranello drivers completed their planned programme, working mainly on the development of Bridgestone tyres, new mechanical components and aerodynamics.
Schumacher's fastest lap was over a second than his nearest rival, Badoer.
Also in action was Jordan, which was giving its EJ15B its baptism. Narain Karthikeyan and Tiago Monteiro both got to drive the car, though between them they only managed 30 laps.
Although it is early days, this initial run hardly inspired confidence, other than a number of technical issues, the fastest lap, posted by Karthikeyan, was 3.69s off Schumacher's pace.
