This will eat into a bit of time.

The Renault of Kevin Magnussen has pulled up on the home straight.

It might be channeling the spirit of its former driver Pastor Maldnado.

If you want to look proper weird in the office this morning, get your phone out, open your Facebook app and head over to the BBC Motorbikes page.

You can take a ride on the NW 200 and, through the magic of a 360 degree camera, you can tilt and rotate your phone to look in any direction while you're riding.

Check it out here, external - just make sure you have the latest Facebook app update. Or you can use it on your desktop by dragging your mouse around.

It's almost as awesome as Kimi.

"With just over an hour to go, Felipe Nasr, Felipe Massa and Carlos Sainz had broken the 100-lap barrier. Kevin Magnussen was getting close, however, having done 94 tours. Eight of the 11 drivers did over 100 laps yesterday."

Nico Hulkenberg still rattling away at the top of the leaderboard as we approach the final hour.

I'm not sure if we'll experience the type of edge-of-your-seat drama we had yesterday with Nico Rosberg surpassing his team-mate's lap tally.

But we can live in hope.

I'm almost certain that Carlos Sainz stopped for lunch - if he didn't, nobody was counting his laps for that hour.

“Fernando Alonso’s news conference after his first test day on Tuesday was rammed. And the Spaniard did not disappoint, proving both newsworthy and illuminating as usual. Apart from dismissing still-rumbling rumours about a sabbatical, he also gave some real insight into McLaren’s position. 

“Even if Honda has solved its issues with energy deployment, the engine is clearly still the big problem. And while Alonso did not criticise it - other than saying there was a lot of work to do in all areas - he did inadvertently or otherwise make it clear, when he pointed out just how confident McLaren are in the quality of their chassis.

“‘The target to have the best chassis is reachable by the European races,’ Alonso said, ‘and the motivation is very high so who knows (what we can achieve)? There is no magic solution or crystal ball but I would like to be competitive and fighting for something important.’

“Alonso was only eighth fastest - and the speed traps told you where the loss was. He was slowest of all at the end of the long pit straight, and second slowest at the finish line. But third fastest - behind the Ferrari and Red Bull, which used both the ultra-soft and super-soft tyres while Alonso was on the softs - in the twisty final sector.”

Decent start to his F1 career for Rio Haryanto, despite a wobble in the early session.

(I'm a bit in love with that Manor livery).

Deeda: Interesting quali rules.. would intervals change in wet conditions? Maybe not since you can't get round all tracks in 90 secs anyway.

Zack: Leave qualifying as it is! We're used to it, we enjoy it, its interesting. NO CHANGE NEEDED!

Anthony Bell: The new plans for qualifying actually sound really exciting.

Phil Stevens: I like the new qually idea but do drivers get to drop bananas and fire shells at other drivers?  

Drivers could battle it out in a new elimination-style qualifying format when the F1 season gets under way next month.

"That 1:23.110 from Hulkenberg on the super-soft is interesting - it is 0.5secs quicker than Sebastian Vettel went on that tyre on Tuesday and only 0.3secs slower than the Ferrari managed on the ultra-soft. That suggests Vettel was running significantly more fuel than the Force India - which is encouraging in terms of Ferrari's margin to the Mercedes, in the context of what we discussed earlier this morning."

Is Kimi about to slip on two pairs of the pink and black attack ultra-soft tyres and go for a killer lap?

He has work to do to catch Nico Hulkenberg though, who is wearing the super-softs and has improved his quickest lap to 1:23.110

"I just saw a Ferrari crew member wheeling four freshly mounted Pirelli ultra-soft tyres from the Pirelli area to the Ferrari garage. Looks like Kimi Raikkonen will do a flyer lap sometime this afternoon."

You thought I'd forgotten about this, hadn't you?

WRONG.

It's #ThingsAlmostAsAwesomeAsKimi...

I mean, this goes in just because it's super nice about us.

This is in because brie and cranberry is extremely underrated - possibly the most middle class of all the sandwich fillings too,

What on earth happened to you on Thursday to wake upon Friday night?

An issue with a McLaren? I'm struggling to believe that...

They're not lying.

Nico Hulkenberg still tops the charts and stands in the way of Ferrari being quickest on three consecutive days.
