    Romain Grosjean is back out in the Lotus but not for long as he makes a swift return to the pits. Valtteri Bottas heads back out as he looks to add to his impressive lap tally for today.

    F1 journalist Dan Knutson in Barcelona: "Sir Frank Williams is here. His team's most recent victory was the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix with Pastor Maldonado. Speaking with Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa here at the same circuit where that victory occurred, you can sense their quiet confidence that the team's 115th grand prix win is imminent."

    That lap from Nico Rosberg, set on the medium compound, is half a second off Romain Grosjean's best, with the Lotus driver clocking the benchmark time on the supersoft compound.

    Not long after going top, Romain Grosjean strengthens his position with a 1:24.067 on the super soft Pirellis.

    That's the best time of the week and means Lotus are set to top three of the four days in Barcelona.

    Blink and you will miss it. Nico Rosberg is on his 107th lap and this could be a big hitter with well over an hour left.

    In contrast, McLaren as a team have managed just less than double that in the two tests so far.

  20. Postpublished at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Honourable mention for Felipe Nasr and Sauber, who are up to 72 laps for the day. They'd manage just three by lunch after problems in the morning.
