Some good analysis in this link and positives to take for SFi.
"Sergio Perez completed exactly 100 laps for Force India on another solid day of mileage for the Silverstone-based team, adding to the 142 accumulated by Esteban Ocon on Tuesday. Force India's headline times have been nothing spectacular in pre-season but the hefty lap count is a good start to the second week of testing after encountering niggling issues at the start of pre-season."
To all those concerned about fastest time in testing how it will determine the pecking order -
"Bottas achieved the lap time in the hour before lunch before handing the car over to teammate Lewis Hamilton, who completed 79 laps to give the team a combined total of 149 for the day. Hamilton finished 1.3s down on his teammate despite running in more representative conditions of a normal Spanish GP -- especially in the early afternoon -- highlighting again why it is unwise to treat headline times as gospel at this stage of winter testing."
