    Sky ticker: So, that's three 'offs across one and a half wet test days for the young Mexican. Sauber certainly haven't been shy in sending him out there in such tricky conditions - he's completed more laps than anyone this morning (47) - so he's certainly been finding out the hard way about how F1 cars handle in the wet.

    Bit of a risk to pick him then? Don't understand the logic at all.

    Even so, surely Sauber would have had more sense? I know they took a risk on Kimi back in 01, but he's Finnish, he would have known how to drive in adverse weather, it's part of the Finnish driving test. Last time i looked, Esteban wasn't Finnish.

    I'm going to apply so much pressure on Esteban it will make Di Resta dislike look like nothing!

    Well Esteban is the reason Kamui hasn't got a seat this year so that's 1 for your list.

    I can endorse you on this one, the Di Resta one was annoying but I support this movement.

    That's not the best way for Bianchi to start his career...but as long as it keeps the likes of Karthikeyan away from F1, I'm all for it.

    I'm just saying it's unfair for Marussia to give them equal track time at this test when they should be compensating for Razia's absence at the previous test. Anyway it doesn't matter now. Razia's sponsors still haven't paid up.

    Can't see any noticeable upgrades for Mercedes. The Sidepods look different but that's about it.

    AMuS: Bianchi is incidentally already brought in connection with Marussia if Luiz Razia not bring the promised millions can. But Bianchi is not the only one. Also, Narain Karthikeyan, Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna are in the draw. Especially important is the sponsorship package.

    Senna is out, he wants to win.
    Petrov has no backing anymore

    so Narain or Bianchi
