    Andrew Benson's report on the final day of the first test is up, you can read it here.

    And with that, my work for the day here is done. Thanks for your company, keep an eye on the BBC Sport F1 page for Andrew's analysis of this week's testing and we'll be back next week for the second test.

    I'm off to build an F1 car out of rich tea biscuits.

    See you next week.

    Joanna Harran: Not a bad week for us @McLarenF1, external fans. Happy with testing. So far, so good. Long may it continue. Hope you have a decent dinner planned Gary, well deserved, especially after your poor lunch.

    I am planning to hit an all-you-can-eat buffet very hard!

    Richard: McLaren doing the old Sauber ploy of dropping a fast time in on the last day of testing in a bid to secure potential sponsors

  10. Postpublished at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Lewis Hamilton also heads on out onto the track but with just under 10 minutes to go it's not looking likely we will see any big changes on the timesheet.

  12. Anyone know a Kev?published at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Kev's nod [see 13:57 entry] to knowing someone else was covertly following testing at work appears to have a few people worried...

    Andrew Stevens: Probably not the only one anxiously trying to think if there is a Kev at my work in another building...

  13. Postpublished at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    The track's busy as we enter the closing stages of the first test.

    Sebastian Vettel, Kevin Magnussen, Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll are all out there.

  14. Postpublished at 16:32 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Looks like Lance Stroll went off at Turn 3, but he was able to get back to the pits.

    Some crew members will go home for a couple of days between the two test sessions while others will remain in Barcelona. At Haas, those that stay will build up a new car around the second monocoque that has been shipped in. So the second Haas will be used at the second test.

  16. Go! Go! Go!published at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Well we are all good to go again with 30 minutes remaining.

    Strange one. There's no cars stranded on the circuit.

    A personal best for Sebastian Vettel as a 1:20.241 nudges him to third. He heads in leaving Lewis Hamilton, Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc on the track.
