    Maybe Gary needs some new glasses? interesting last bit though.

    Andrew Benson ‏@andrewbensonf1
    Gary's struggling to tell difference between old and new Red Bulls, apart from nose. Hears unconfirmed rumours of big update for last test

    I think this year will be a contest on who can cock up the most: Mercedes or Mclaren.

    (AMuS)The official version of Mercedes is now: electrical problem. Supposedly the smoke came only from excessive heat under the cowling. In the first photograph is however clearly a flame visible.

    That isn't good when you consider the track is only 10c...

    You can actually see bubbles off the paint with how hot it got inside.

    Not a good start for McLaren who have only done 3 timed laps...

    Sky Sports F1 &#8207;@SkySportsF1
    McLaren confirm that Jenson Button's car has suffered a fuel pump failure and will be out of action for "some time" #skyf1


    News on Lotus:
    Duurt &#8207;@Formula1extra
    According to @F1TodayLive Grosjean came in after his quick run with some front tyre degredation. He was on medium tyres.

    No excuses for McLaren this year regarding reliability, hope it's not a sign of things to come

    I hear that Mercedes updated it but so far it looks like it didn't work better for McLaren. Bit like with the alternators being owned by Ferrari...
