By setting the pace once more in the collective test in Barcelona, Esteban Gutierrez (Lotus) has confirmed he was one of the favorites for the 2012 GP2 title.

Fabrizio Crestani (Lazarus) was the quickest on Tuesday. But Gutierrez was back on top of timing charts on Wednesday and Thursday.

Amongst the other drivers who set the pace in Barcelona, we noted Max Chilton (Carlin), Jolyon Palmer (iSport), Giedo Van der Garde (Caterham), Julian Leal (Trident), Davide Valsecchi (DAMS) and Tom Dillmann (Rapax), who still hasn't secured a race seat for the 2012 season.

That concludes winter testing of the GP2 series until the opening round in Malaysia, March 24.
