That's about right Seb's 123.1 was on the silver branded hard tire.

Impossible to say. I dont buy it. I dont believe anyone can do 1-18's this year.

Hehehe, tried to get your blood pressure up a bit, without too much success though

13:19 Rosberg is still pounding around out there. He's done five laps now and the last four have been in the 1m27s; 1m27.860s, 1m27.484s, 1m27.345s and 1m27.791s. In that order of course.

It's all good! I just would like to go to sleep and wake up in about 22 days, watching the cars in Australia [-o<

I hear Michael Jackson had quite a recipe for that....

Propafil or something like that? Had it in surgery I can think of a few better highs to have a binder on and serenely end up in Oz

13:43 @InsideFerrari reports:

It will be a slightly longer lunch break as we are working on a change on the car

I hope they are painting it Red and blue

@eddstrawF1, says that the McLaren is looking very strong down at Turn 1. 'On the power fractionally before Vettel and can be very aggressive on braking and turn in.' Both cars look very good though he reports.

Awesome battle between Mclaren and Red Bull. They both doing a race simulation, their times are equal.

[simieski]

During race weekends teams are able to listen to radio transmissions from other teams, is this also the case during testing or is encryption used to hide the finer points of what they are doing and how they are performing?

Very good stint by Hulkenberg with hard tyres.

15 laps, with hard tyres, withouth drop off. The hard tyres looks like 2010 Bridgestone tyres

15:15 The Sauber just came past the pits sounding, well a bit odd actually. AUTOSPORT's Sam Tremayne reports:"Exhaust sounds like it's blowing and not in an illegal way." We can confirm that Sam knows a lot about this sort of thing, we've seen the exhaust on his car!
