They'll be breaking for tapas and zumo de naranja in Barcelona soon. At which point we'll take a proper look at the timings.

Nooooo, Colin.

But it's fun to see it as a personal battle between the pair of them - I can't imagine either of then enjoys losing anything, even a game of tiddlywinks.

And the fastest lap time of the weekend at 1:24.298...

“There was some good news from McLaren’s first day of testing in 2016 yesterday - the hybrid system problem that led to the Honda engine running out of steam part-way down many straights has been solved, according to Jenson Button.

"However, the Englishman admitted that Honda still needed to find a lot on the engine and today it's Fernando Alonso in the car.

"Come the end of the day, his every word will be intensely scrutinised, following the discussion over the possibility of him taking a sabbatical that emerged at the last race of last season.

"After two days of mixed messages there, started by Ron Dennis saying the idea had been discussed some time previously, Alonso finally told this writer he ‘wouldn’t do it’. But what if he feels the car - and particularly the engine - is still too far behind? Could Alonso, who said last autumn that he believed a 2.5-second improvement was ‘realistic’, stomach another year battling with drivers with a fraction of his ability? It is one of the big questions of this off-season.”    

This is cheating, sir. But it's so beautiful I'll let it slide.

So many cars to get you salivating here. What colour combo fills you with joy on any historic grid?

Use #bbcf1 (you can see loads more on twitter).

With that in mind, it should be another friendly rivalry between this pair again this year.

Look how much fun they were having in each other's company yesterday.

F1 journalist Dan Knutson in Barcelona: "Yesterday, Lewis Hamilton did a race distance – 66 laps – before the lunch break. Nico Rosberg has now topped the 66-lap mark and there is still another hour to go before the break.

"Furthermore, Rosberg is currently quicker than Sebastian Vettel – by 0.073 of a second – whereas yesterday Vettel went quicker than Hamilton."

F1 journalist Dan Knutson: "Max Verstappen brought out the first red flag of the test so far. Here is his Toro Rosso STR11 being unloaded off the truck back at the pits."

Seriously. Stop.

(Don't stop).

Come on guys. Leave the poor Mastercard Lola alone.

Stop it now.

(Don't stop).

And new boys Haas are the first social media team to tell us we're back under way again.

Will their cars be as quick as their tweeters?

Here's the reason for the red flag.

Max Verstappen got a stoppin.

Or, for our French readers...

I'm asking what team's colour combo sends shivers up your spine?

A few shouts for this Brawn number and I wholeheartedly agree. It's like a lickable ice-lol.

Use #bbcf1 to see other suggestions and add your own - there's loads and it's making me drool.

Some of the new additions to the Mercedes have got Twitter having a chuckle (fully endorsed by the media team at Mercedes).

I believe this is what the kids call a "meme". Ed Balls was a meme once.

I don't want to encourage mocking of the Mastercard Lola... but I'm not going to discourage it either.

“While the teams are learning about their new cars in Barcelona on Tuesday, their bosses will be in Geneva discussing the sport’s future. It is D-day for the regulation changes planned for 2017 and aimed at making the cars faster and more dramatic looking.

"Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said F1 had a ‘great opportunity to do something really good for the future and hopefully that opportunity isn’t wasted’.

"But there is still controversy and disagreement about the extent to which the cars should be speeded up. The rules need to be decided now because if they are not agreed by the end of February, unanimity is needed to impose changes for 2017, which will never be achieved.

"Meanwhile, Horner said Bernie Ecclestone will table a proposal to reverse the top 10 qualifiers on the grid to try to increase excitement.”    

The car colour combos that make you swoon?

You've got loads of them and I love them. Keep them coming.

I've picked this one out because I had a metal pencil case in the shape of the Jaguar that competed in Le Mans - same colour scheme. Gorgeous.

I bloomin loved that pencil case.
