And he's back out

 

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet

 

Only an aero run for Rosberg.

 

Kimi goes second, now he is six tenth behind Button. Good thing Alonso is in the car tomorrow

 

MERCEDES AMG F1 ‏@MercedesAMGF11m
Funky flo-vis style for @nico_rosberg this time around; is that techno music we hear... #F1 #Jerez pic.twitter.com/iTXqARJsuy

These pictures in quotes working for you ... people?

 

No

 

I've PM'd mick and the super mods, fingers crossed.

 

Lots of laps for Mercedes but not showing any pace as yet.

When will they show their hand?

 

Caterham looking to get another run in, so perhaps their engine problem was different?

 

No need to push when nobody is a threat to the mighty Mercedes

 

I've they are the only ones capable of even getting to half race distance I think they don't need to worry

 

I'd love to see Rosberg hit the 100 mark, how many has he?
