I wish he'd lifted just that little less and given us the 1:18 we've all been waiting for

Think if Merc or Ferrari go full throttle we could see time in 1.18 low or even 1.17

Vettel does 1:19.164 on ultra-soft tires but doesn't go all the way in final sector

He was on super-soft tires when backing off on finish straight

Vettel smashes out a 1m19.341s lap to leap to the top of the times. That's a pretty rapid effort on the soft compound Pirellis...

Some serious sensors on Ferrari this morning

from @SkySportsF1:

Uffman

Massa's 1:19:726 time indicates either Williams has made good progress or Mercedes / Ferrari / Red Bull are holding onto their guns & taking it easy. I'm assuming the latter. What if Williams is sandbagging? Then Stroll would be runner-up for the title! Vettel did :19.906 on soft tires. Only driver...

Fully expect Alonso to retire from F1 soon.

Or go to Mercedes in 2018

BEN ANDERSON: Engine change for McLaren-Honda. Problem discovered during this morning's running.

Uffman

From SkySportsF1 live feed: What a disaster - again - for McLaren. For just how much longer can this situation go on? The news of their latest engine failure is unofficial at present but the lap charts don't lie: Stoffel Vandoorne's tally of 34 laps so far has been bettered by every other car with t...

The problem with McLaren - stuck in the garage for at least two hours now - is with the Honda engine.

Red Bull up their game, 1:20.077 on soft tires for Daniel

Ricciardo set fastest time for RB in testing with 1:20.964 on soft tires

So it appears Mercedes are bringing extensive updates to the 2nd test: There have already been suggestions that the developments, allied to it pushing more on its engine maps, could deliver it a further two seconds. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mercedes-plans-big-update-push-for-second-f1-tes...

No action for Hamilton today: "Electrical fault kept us in the garage this morning, so I've decided with the team not to drive today as I wouldn't have learned much. Shame not to drive but it's been a great few days. The guys have done an awesome job. Can't wait to be back in the car next week."

Gary Anderson:

Watching Vettel through Turn 1-3 is definitely my 'wow' factor of the day. The Ferrari is just planted and, even on used tyres, it doesn't budge one millimetre off line

Uffman

Gary Anderson: Watching this morning, the Ferrari looked planted at every corner I went to. The Mercedes when doing quick runs on new tyres also looked pretty good, but when on longer runs or on softer tyres looked a bit fidgety and was moving around a bit. The Mercedes seems to have more understee...

Alonso is out on ultra-softs and set a 1m22.598s.

69 laps so far for #Seb5, all on Mediums (used tires only from 10:30 onwards).

Uffman

Bottas 1:19.838. That the quickest ever? At this configuration of the track, yep. Merc have absolutely aced it again. All we can hope is Ferrari or Red Bull are closer than they appear. Bottas set that time on the super softs whereas Kimi did manage to set a 1:20.960 on the medium compound which Is...

From Gary Anderson: Mario Andretti used to say that the ground effect Lotus 79 was painted to the ground. Well, exiting Turn 2 and into Turn 3, where I am watching, both the Mercedes and the Ferrari look like they are painted to the ground. But, to me, Ferrari has used a better undercoat. It really ...

First red flag of day 3. Palmer spins into gravel.

Hope we see some proper push for lap times from Merc, Ferrari and Red Bull

Autosport reports that tomorrow will be wet testing

With tomorrow earmarked for wet tyre testing (more on that later), we're expecting a lot of teams to push on with the conventional test work today.
Hopefully that means we'll see a bit more in terms of what certain teams have got.

Uffman

This time Raikkonen beats Hamilton's super-soft time and puts the Ferrari on top with a 1m20.960s. He's 0.023s faster than the Mercedes.

Uffman

The Ferrari looks extremely poised on track - very well balanced and stable. Just to the eye it's a clear step from last year.
@Edd Straw

Kimi Raikkonen on soft tyres is just two tenths away from Hamilton's morning time. He sets a 1:21.198.

Hamilton did 1:20.983 on supersoft tyres

Uffman

From @Gary Anderson It's interesting that Hamilton has produced the fastest time of the day so far at the start of a long run on soft tyres, and it gives us a potential insight into what the Mercedes could be capable with on low fuel. If he did that 1m21.7s with around 80kg of fuel on board that wou...
