    Anyway 123 laps by all Mercedes engines is a good start since they almost have double the laps Ferrari and Renault have both combined.

    So far today Mercedes-powered engines have completed 123 laps; Ferrari 56 laps and Renault just 13 laps in total. Not good!

    14:10 Rosberg improves to 1m28.149s and finally moves ahead of Perez.

    14:09 EDD STRAW reports that, unlike Red Bull, Toro Rosso is going to try to get its Renault-engined contender out on track again before the end of the day.

    AMuS

    Around noon it fell on. The three Renault customers Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Caterham stood for ages in their garages. Shortly after Sebastian Vettel emerged in civil and hurriedly packed his official car. The world champion had early closing time. Three laps on the first day, eight in the second.

    While Vettel was sentenced on the first day of testing due to a faulty installation spring long to watch, appeared on the second day to a more serious problem. "We have difficulty with the energy recovery system. Yesterday it has already hinted at Toro Rosso today and caught us," said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.

    Red Bull hopes for quick solution
    Renault wants overnight installing new parts and the cause of the trouble, go to the bottom. If ERS gets out, makes no sense to go. What the outbreak is precisely whether the MGU-K, the MGU-H or the wiring, Horner could not tell. Only that now suppresses all fingers crossed that Renault problems come to grips with. "We need urgent kilometers in order to understand this complicated thing," Vettel has now once vacant until the next test in Bahrain. The next two days of testing will take place Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull. At a change of the test program was not intended. Horner: "At this stage it really does not matter which driver sits in the car."

    Ferrari powered cars are doing on average 33.5 laps per car,
    Mercedes powered cars are doing on on average 36.25 laps per car,
    Renault powered cars are doing on on average 5.3 laps per car,

    So far. A little worrying for Renault.

    Byron Young &#8207;@byronf113m
    Some people are reporting Vettel has left the circuit but Red Bull say that's not the case


    &#8203;Grumpy?

    14:37 Ericsson comes past the pits, but the Caterham is still along way away from flat-chat, despite a lock-up at the last corner.

    Rosberg's Mercedes, on the other hand, sounds strong and continues to pound round. He is currently lapping in the 1m27s.
