Image source, PALewis Hamilton’s test is finished - he has handed the car over to Nico Rosberg this afternoon - and it’s fair to say he’s very pleased with Mercedes’ work. He said the reliability has been “incredible - I’ve never seen anything like it”. And he said the much-vaunted new nose, with fancy aerodynamic parts, is “an improvement, which is good. It’s always about small increments and that’s what it’s brought”.
The world champion is still not happy with the rule changes, though. He says he feels the new driver of the day award is “a pointless exercise” and on the new rules: “I don’t know what the other drivers want but I don’t care to be consulted about it. I just don’t think they are particularly special or will add to the spectacle for the fans and that’s what we’ve got to do.
"Definitely on race weekends, for example we are limited on tyres and engines so we do less running. When these people turn up and spend so much money to watch a test day they are sat there watching nothing for a period of time because we have no tyres. There are loads of things I just feel it’s to make headlines and all it does is cause everyone to talk about it, but it’s not going to make much difference."

No major changes to that timesheet since this morning, apart from the obvious addition of Nico Rosberg.
I've just noticed he got a time that is a touch faster than Lewis Hamilton's, before cracking on with building up his lap count.
He's done that on purpose hasn't he? The cheeky scamp.

We're coming up to completing the first hour of the afternoon and still the McLaren remains in the garage. I'm starting to get a little worried that the comment below I made in jest this morning might actually come true.
Kevin Magnussen, Esteban Gutierrez and Nico Rosberg are all out on the circuit at the moment. No improvement in their best times so far, although Gutierrez is well into a race sim run.

Chief F1 writerPirelli will be told to produce a tyre drivers can push to the limit in 2017 as Formula 1 bosses seek to make the sport more exciting.
The current tyres prevent drivers from racing flat out because they degrade quickly and need to be nursed.
Cars will be as much as five seconds a lap faster in 2017.

I truly hope he did all this to the same music from a Rocky training montage...
