Swift work by Sauber as they get Marcus Ericsson back out for the final two minutes after his earlier spin and the subsequent separation of his wheel.

Kevin Magnussen is definitely done for the day, because there is a water leak on the Renault.
Elsewhere, there's been no major shift in the times. Sergio Perez has improved marginally but not enough to improve his place in eighth.
It looks like day two of testing will end with Valtteri Bottas top of the timesheet.

Image source, BBC SportF1 journalist Dan Knutson: "I stood nearby when Pascal Wehrlein made a practice start in the Manor at the end of pit lane earlier today. When he wound the engine up to full rpm it was LOUD. My ears were ringing for a while afterwards. Of course, people can’t get this close during an actual race start, and so the sound gets dissipated before you hear it."

Valtteri Bottas is also back out and has soft tyres on as Sergio Perez improves, clocking 1:26.036. He remains eighth fastest.
Only Bottas and Kevin Magnussen have given the super softs a go today. Anyone else for the final 25 minutes?

The Sauber and its missing wheel have been recovered by the flatbed truck and taken back to the pits, so the track is open once again.
Forty minutes remaining.
