It certainly makes things interesting for tomorrow. Can McLaren sort things out and get some decent running in on the final day of testing? Join me at 08:00 GMT tomorrow to find out.

I'll leave you with Andrew Benson's report, and until tomorrow, good bye.

In total for testing McLaren have managed less than 200 laps. Every other team has managed well over 400, with Mercedes leading the way with over 800. Worrying times for McLaren?

1 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Lotus-Mercedes 1:24.348

2 Max Verstappen (Ned) Toro Rosso-Renault 1:24.739

3 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes 1:26.142

4 Marcus Ericsson (Swe) Sauber-Ferrari 1:26.340

5 Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Ferrari 1:26.407

6 Daniil Kvyat (Rus) Red Bull-Renault 1:26.589

7 Felipe Massa (Brz) Williams-Mercedes 1:26.912

8 Pascal Wehrlein (Ger) Force India-Mercedes 1:27.333*

9 Valtteri Bottas (Fin) Williams-Mercedes 1:27.556

10 Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Honda 1:29.151

Mercedes:, external Job done! 101 the total for Lewis Hamilton today - he's powered through these past couple of sessions!

Out comes the chequered flag to bring day three to a close. Five drivers got over 100 laps under their belt, a figure Jenson Button can only look on enviously at after a frustrating day for McLaren.

Pastor Maldonado finishes fastest for the day.

Mercedes:, external That's his century! 100 laps hit for Lewis Hamilton Howzaaaat! ;)

Jenson Button completes a lap, heads in, heads back out but soon heads back in again.

That's better, a 1:27.556 is almost two seconds quicker than Jenson Button's best effort, so Valtteri Bottas is up into ninth.

Ah, a late timed lap for Valterri Bottas but it is not enough to lift him off the bottom of the timesheet as he clocks 1:38.067.

Williams:, external Final 10 minutes and Valtteri Bottas heads out with a clear visor as the light fades.

Image source, Sauber

Sauber:, external One more run on the soft tyres.

Jenson Button heads out, he'd certainly welcome a few trouble-free laps, and he is quickly followed by Marcus Ericsson, Valtteri Bottas and then Pascal Wehrlein.

The green flag is waved and 10 minutes remain for teams to rattle up a few late laps.

Force India:, external Red flag halts proceedings. It may be a bit of a scramble for the pit lane once the session goes green again! Every lap counts.

It was the Toro Rosso that brought out the red flag and the recovery truck trundles over to lift Max Verstappen's car. Should be enough time to squeeze in a few more laps before day three of testing comes to an end.

Max Verstappen stopped just before Turn 1, while Jenson Button also came to a halt at the pit exit.

McLaren head back out, but there is a red flag...

A bit more activity on the circuit as we enter the final 30 minutes with Sebastian Vettel increasing his lap total for the day in the Ferrari. Pascal Wehrlein, in the Force India, and Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen are also out there.

Force India:, external Pascal's tally is up to 77 laps, a very good haul for the youngster who has been through a plan of setup work and longer runs. The crew has completed some routine checks after the latest long run, so we're ready to put in some extra laps before the end!

Daniil Kvyat pops out in the Red Bull but is straight back in and once again the circuit is empty. Sensing there is little more to see today, spectators are starting to make their way home.
