    Reckon RBR, Lotus and Ferrari must be able to get into the low 20's if they're still confident of beating Mercedes.

    Judging by Benson's tweet the leaders could do 1:19's.

    Good lap from Bianchi today, on his 30th lap a 1:24.307 which is over a second faster than the Caterham and over 7 tenths quicker than anything Chilton could do in six days at the circuit

    I have nothing for or against Chilton but isn't the track a bit quicker today?
    Also, I'd assume the Marussia has had some updates/upgrades applied to it for the final two days of the test..

    I doubt either of these things would account for the 7 tenths - and anyway, 30 laps vs six days!

    I think Sutil is on a race simulation?

    Compared to Alonso's simulation yesterday, the laptimes are not good!

    Massive graining on Lewis' soft tyre.

    The mercedes looks good in testing, but then so did the Williams in 2011, and they managed to score a grand total of 5 championship points during the season, I'm not saying mercedes will be that bad, but I think people are reading far too much into a single lap time, and Button talking up Mercedes is a bit of gamesmanship IMO.

    Apart from a lack of traction at turn 10, it looks fantastic!

    Impressed by how consistent Hamilton's times are at the moment, hopefully they have improved on tyre wear

    That's car specific though, Coanda vs EBD hybrid.

    Massa looks incredible on supersoft tyres. Autosport say first two sectors green, third yellow because the tyres went away


    Also forza Bianchi - a 1:24.028!! I might change my name
