    Immediate improvement by Stoffel Vandoorne as he does a 1:59.167.

    Valtteri Bottas has finally decided to venture out in the Mercedes so that means we've had all 10 drivers on the track this morning.

    Progress.

    Full wets are the order of the day as the drivers embark on their installation laps.

  9. What happened on Wednesdaypublished at 08:00 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Fernando Alonso DOMINATED the day, that's what happened on Wednesday.

    Granted, he was the only driver to set a time due to the conditions but details shmetails, it's just great to see McLaren top of the order again.

  10. Postpublished at 07:58 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    It's a bit damp on the track this morning but comparatively warmer to yesterday - 7C air temperature and 9C track temperature.

  11. Busy, busy, busypublished at 07:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    But a bit of fog ain't going to stop us today!

    It appears to be clearing quite quickly and with teams having to make up for lost time expect it to be VERY busy on the track today - so busy, in fact, that lunch has been binned to squeeze an extra hour of testing in.

    Sandwiches at the desk it is today then.

  12. Postpublished at 07:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    We haven't had fog yet, have we? Then it's that today...

  13. The snow in Spain falls mainly on...published at 07:50 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Snow at the circuit on Wednesday

    ... the circuit Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya?

    That was certainly the case on Wednesday as the white stuff effectively rendered the third day of testing a write off.

    It means that so far this week we've had some sunshine, some rain and a lot of snow, is there anything else the weather can throw at us on day four?
