On his first outing 'in anger' following his horrific accident in Hungary, Felipe Massa has clearly lost none of his pace as he dominates the first morning of testing at Valencia.
Although there is no break for lunch - the teams opting to make as much use of the limited pre-season track time as possible - coming up to mid-way through today's session it is Ferrari's Felipe Massa who leads the way.
While the Brazilian sets the pace in the new Ferrari F10, journalists and photographers are spoilt for choice as Sauber, Mercedes, Renault, McLaren, Williams (above) and Toro Rosso all give their 2010 contenders their maiden runs.
Weather conditions are ideal, if a little cool, and there have been no significant incidents thus far.
