  1. Hmm. Things could be about to get feisty if those Fernando Alonso quotes are accurate. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

    Looks like Alonso has come out fighting to the Spanish media. "The team are all ready to win except Honda," they quote him saying. Ouch

    That red flag ends the session, meaning Valtteri Bottas ends day two quickest.

  7. Everyone heads back to the pits apart from Sauber. Marcus Ericsson has come to a stop at Turn 8.

  8. red flag

    Red flag

    Deja vu.

  9. The track gets busy very quickly as Lewis Hamilton, Romain Grosjean, Jolyon Palmer and Carlos Sainz heaad out.

  10. Go! Go! Go!

    The Red Bull has been recovered and we're back under way with the added bonus of five additional minutes of testing.

    The session has been extended until 17:05 GMT.

    Reece Young: Red Bull look quite quick but have had a fair few mechanical issues. Still seem to have a few problems to iron out   

  12. Max Verstappen didn't crash, by the way, just came to a stop. Possibly out of fuel?

    Just 10 minutes to go until testing is done for the day.

  13. And confirmation that Kimi Raikkonen's running is done after his crash earlier this afternoon.

    Time to fire up the # thingsKimiDOESN'Tfindok hashtag?

  14. So close...

    F1 journalist Dan Knutson in Barcelona: Red Flag. That’s a DNF for Max Verstappen who was on the 62nd of his 66-lap race sim.

  15. It is indeed young Verstappen.

    Not long after surpassing 100 laps for the day, the Dutchman stopped at Turn 13. 

    He missed a good chunk of the day's action earlier because of an engine change.

  16. red flag

    Red flag

    Second red flag of the day.

    I think it for Max Verstappen's Red Bull...

    What is Alonso thinking here?

    ..

    Keith Ansell: "They'll never know I'm really Ron Dennis in an Alonso mask. Hehe"

    Gave: Alonso's thinking if hondas new civic type r might be a better choice on track this season, space for deck chairs as well... 

    Max Hunt: "Hello darkness my old friend"   

  18. Stroll quicker than Hamilton

    Speaking of Lewis Hamilton, he's just been knocked down to P6 by Lance Stroll. The Williams rookie having done a 1:20.579 on supersofts.

    An encouraging day for the 18-year-old after last week,

  19. Jolyon Palmer has surpassed his day-one lap total - he's onto 27 for this afternoon having only been sent out about an hour-and-half ago.

    With just under 30 minutes remaining, Lewis Hamilton is back out on the track. He'd got an impressive 20 laps out of the ultrasofts a littler earlier.
