09:14 More from EDD STRAW on the work going on in the Red Bull garage, part of what the team described on Twitter just now as a "slight delay".

It comes as little surprise to hear that Straw has spotted "work going on around the back" of the RB10. He adds that it "sounds like there might be some cutting or grinding equipment involved".

Sorry, we don't have a cutting or grinding icon...
 
Marussia has got its DRS I see, and some sidepod tuning. Coming along nicely for them

09:20 As Frijns brings his latest run in the Caterham to an end, the green machine is emphatically leading the way for laps completed by a Renault-powered car.

While Lotus's lack of running (seven laps) is understandable as today is the public debut of the car, the fact that a Renault team is now up to second on today's lap count with 25 certainly suggests that the problems at Red Bull and Toro Rosso are more team-specific than they were at Jerez.

Toro Rosso won’t be out for a while. They have an oil leak and some other issues going on. Frustrating morning for the team. #F1

Big screech of tyres. Our first spin of the day. Sutil down to T1 & it's recovery time. Red flag and ALO's Ferrari pops angrily in pits #F1


Sutil likes spinning his Sauber! That three times in tests now?
