  4. Eight years ago...published at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    A good Throwback Thursday from Nico Rosberg here as the former world champion looks back to the start of the 2010 Formula 1 season.

    Michael Schumacher came out of retirement to drive for Mercedes alongside Rosberg.

    "Eight years ago was a very special day for me," says Rosberg. "Little did I know it would be the start of something so big in my life.

    "It was the first day of testing and presentation of the new Mercedes F1 car and the new Mercedes team. The resurrection of the Silver Arrow legend.

    "I am very proud to have been there from day one. It was very emotional to be standing there next to Michael Schumacher, our German legend. Really amazing to think back to those days."

  6. Ton up for Gaslypublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Pierre Gasly joins Stoffel Vandoorne in the 100-laps club. Good mileage for the Honda-powered Toro Rosso today.

  7. Hamilton top (for real this time)published at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Lewis Hamilton goes quickest of all with a 1:19.333 on those trusty mediums. That's a half a second quicker than Stoffel Vandoorne's time on the hyper-softs.

    Definitely no chicanes missed on that lap. The time stands.

    Hang on, or is he...?

  9. Postpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    A personal best for Fernando Alonso as he does a 1:20.929. He stays fourth but is now within a second of the fastest time of the day.

    Martyn West: How about McLaren as raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip? They look great to the untrained eye but they're ultimately disappointing?

    Moon Quddus: I feel like McLaren are those Nice biscuits. I loved them as a kid, but growing up they just seem waay too sugary for me. And a very fragile tea-dunker. Not as great as I remember them to be.

  11. McLaren learning a lotpublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Dan Knutson
    F1 journalist in Barcelona

    “Today we are learning a lot,” McLaren’s racing director Eric Boullier told the media this afternoon.

    “Finally we got rid of bad weather and mechanical glitches in the car, so we could follow our programme. We have compressed it to give some priorities to some items. Today we are starting to gather some data on aero, and even work on some mechanical changes. So it is a learning process and we now try to learn as much as we can.”

    Rekindled AI: Can we please agree (or at least reach some consensus) that lap times should not be published without a note to what tyre the times are set on.

    Hit refresh and the compounds should be on the times entry below now. Apologies, I've been writing for eight hours now and I'm starting to see things that I can only describe as half F1 car half garibaldi biscuit floating across my vision.

    The Red Bull is up and on the back of the recovery truck so testing should be good to go again soon.

    Christopher Clee: How about comparing biscuits with teams? You've put the Bourbon down as the Mercedes - how about the Garibaldi for Ferrari?

    Any other suggestions? Renault as custard creams? Because yellow.

    Max Verstappen, who was on the softs, went off at Turn 12.

    The official Formula 1 world championship may not be under way just yet but the Formula 1 biscuit world championship certainly is...

    Joel Pambakian: Bourbons the Mercedes of the biscuit world!? He’s clearly not tried chocolate hobnobs..

    Matt Caney: Chocolate biscuits are better for cold weather
