Alonso doing lots of single laps runs so it seems they're fiddling with something.
11:58 Mercedes we hear that in the current race simulation of Nico Rosberg in terms of fuel consumption, everything is in the green zone. The Silver Arrows are obviously a step further than the competition.
11:21 Sauber has been having trouble with its braking system at Jerez, which could explain its laptimes. Better for the drivers to put on mileage at a slower pace than risk throwing it off (as Gutierrez did on day two).
It's official Mercedes can run a race distance already.
91 laps and it hasn't even been lunchtime yet.

Rosberg was out a total of 72 laps. Came to the pits 3 times. Fuel consumption no issue we hear from Mercedes

When it rains, it pours for Renault
Reports are surfacing this morning of more bad news for Renault F1, as their Head of Track Operations Rémi Taffin, was rushed to hospital last night with severe stomach pains. As a matter of coincidence, it has nothing to do with the extremely poor performance of the new Renault powertrain.
Reports state it was a simple attack of appendicitis, with no further complications expected. He was operated on last night and remains under observation today. Just at the time that the leaders will need to stand together for the French manufacturer, health problems knock one of them back.
It really seems the age old adage is true here for Renault, When it rains, it pours!

Get well soon!
Surely 91 laps deserves a sit down lunch!

More convinced than ever that Renault teams are under instruction not to push beyond a certain time. 37 laps for Kobi and still only a 1:43.1 to show for it. Torro Rosso a bit slower but a lot less laps.
Any news on RBR running again? Not been seen for a while.

Track drying and teams getting faster. Alonso with a 1:35

I blame Newey, he obviously didn't package his chaps intestines correctly!

Saw something interesting this morning. @redbullracing came by at low speed and a big spark shot out of the engine. Not good I'd say. #F1

Lunchtime in Jerez. We've done some work with the brake by wire system & its interaction with the powertrain. Out again in a little while
Same as Sauber's problem? Ferrari related perhaps?
So I was almost correct in saying Red Bull wont bother with the last day.
