BARCELONA (Reuters) - Ferrari made a strong start to Formula One's pre-season testing on Monday with four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel saying he could not have hoped for a better day after setting the fastest time and doing the most laps.

The Italian team won six of 21 races last year, finishing overall runners-up, and hope the new SF90 car can end Mercedes's five-year stranglehold on both championships and their own decade-long wait for a title.
