    Unbelievable. If that's true then he could miss the rest of this week's test. They both could, nightmare for the team too.

    Both drivers unable to drive: that's a masterclass in sandbagging from Mercedes.

    I wonder if Mercedes might lean on FI to loan them Hulkenberg or Perez?

    Williams seems in one piece at least, doesn't look beached though, almost like it gently rolled into the gravel.

    In that top picture there's no marks on the barrier, almost like all that rear end damaged on the Sauber was caused by hitting the Williams.

    Wolff and Nasr in the gravel. How can cars collide during testing!?

    You'd have to think that Wolff either turned late into the back of Nasr, or he has come steaming in and lost it over the front of the Williams.

    Strange place to have an accident and for Nasr to have gone on so far into the gravel so must have been traveling at some speed to reach there on that part of the circuit

    The McLaren faulty part- is that a relatively trivial error/fault that will be resolved when they have the redesigned part?

    At first and quite ignorantly I thought Wolff caused the crash, but Nasr over cooking it and cutting back in to the racing line (otherwise known as the williams), may be more plausible.

    Maldo and Raikkonen quicker than Hamilton's 2014 pole time. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from that stat.
