Toro Rossa just gone fastest, with an impressive number of laps in total too.

 

Good time by Ricciardo

 

Duurt ‏@Formula1extra
McLaren MP4-28 is still in the garage with a fuel pick-up problem. No word yet if we see it on track this afternoon.

 

Amus: We have the Mercedes just once to get the information that it is in the aforementioned flame to Rosberg's tail just unburned gasoline acted that ignited. So it can perhaps go faster than feared.

 

Fuel pump failure for Button confirmed.

McLaren can't be happy about that as the same failures cost them dear last year.

 

Now times that by 3 come 2014 when they don't get first priority with the Mercedes engines...

Classic Benson

 

Di Resta jumps up to 2nd. Was on Mediums though as opposed to Dan on Hards (Force India's also on fumes!!!! )

Mercedes, McLaren and Lotus with the fewest laps.

Toro Rosso, Ferrari and IRBR/Sauber with the most laps (excluding none timed) as Webber did a lot of untimed laps (34 extra).

 

Di Resta is faster than everone in the world... But I guess you all knew that

 

I'm assuming STR are running the car light, as they normally do in pre season testing.

 

Di Resta on the medium though.

 

Been almost 3 hours since Jenson was last out.

 

This morning I was most impressed by the Silveredes use of the afterburner.

 

And lotus show their hand first with the hard tyre...

 

Thought might be interesting to bench mark the new cars?
