Nice to see Force India and Williams in top 3. I know it's only testing but hopefully it will be enough to temp some sponsors.

I suspect McLaren are trying the same thing. Fastest on 2 days out of 3, Magnussen pushing hard and the team still in need of a title sponsor. It would make sense.
 
MARUSSIA SURPASSES RED BULL RACING
Marussia has done more laps in one and a half day than Red Bull Racing did in four days. The MR03 has done 24 laps, while the RB10 could not do more than 21 laps.

They are also quicker than Rosberg in the Mercedes :)
 
Christian Horner: “We have had numerous Renault issues as well as chassis cooling issues"

Not that he emphasised it was RENAULT issues. He could have replaced RENAULT with 'engine' issues to be nice about it, but just wanted everyone to know that it was RENAULT issues. Not engine, RENAULT.

We all got that?
