    We're due to see Lewis Hamilton some point this afternoon but there's no movement in the Mercedes garage yet.

    Instead, Sebastian Vettel has ventured out on softs.

    It's McLaren!

    Papaya orange clearly proved popular as they took 23% of the votes. Renault finished second on 21.

    A McLaren-Renault one-two. Funnily enough, that's what the order is at the top of the timesheet at the moment.

    McLaren are enjoying themselves out there today. Just as I'm about to take a bit out of my cheese pasty, Stoffel Vandoorne re-emerges on the track.

    He's got it all to himself as everyone else hits the buffet.

    Right, now is definitely a good time for a rundown of the times.

  8. Postpublished at 12:31 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Stoffel Vandoorne is on the hyper-soft and on that compound he powers to the top of the pile with 1:20.899.

    And with that everyone pits for what I assume is an unofficial lunch break.

  9. Get involvedpublished at 12:22 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Kayleigh: Hey, #bbcf1, external , can we get a list of the total laps run for the first week of testing last year vs this year at the end of the session today please?

    I'm going to have to go without lunch AND do some maths? Go on then...

  10. Vettel making his movepublished at 12:19 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Sebastian Vettel is up to fourth on the softs, clocking 1:25.414.

    He's three seconds off Nico Hulkenberg's time

    Nico Hulkenberg returns to the top with a time of 1:22.729 as Marcus Ericsson, who is on super-softs, does a 1:25.683 to go P3.

  12. 'I think it will be close, very close'published at 12:15 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Andrew Benson
    BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer

    Sebastian Vettel is cautiously optimistic about Ferrari's chances this year after his brief experience of the new car so far in Barcelona. He admits that "there has been very limited running so it is very difficult to judge - not just for you, but for us as well.” But he said he had an "initial good first impression with the car" and added: “Mercedes are the favourites. I think it will be close, very close. We see from there. It is a long year and a long time from here to the end of the season.”

  13. Postpublished at 12:13 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Sebastian Vettel - remember him? We've not seen a great deal of the Ferrari man today but he is on the track with softs on.

  14. Postpublished at 12:10 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    Nico Hulkenberg also improves with 1:23.462. He stays second as Valtteri Bottas heads in.

  15. Postpublished at 12:09 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2018

    It looks like everyone is following Valtteri Bottas and Nico Hulkenberg's lead. Bottas and Hulkenberg are the only two drivers on the track at the moment, with the former improving his timesheet topping time with 1:22.789.
