  1. Actually, Lance Stroll is out there too.

  2. A slight improvement for Lewis Hamilton as he does a 1:20.808. Not enough to nudge him higher than his current fourth position.

    Hamilton and Kevin Magnussen are the only two drivers on the circuit at the moment.

  3. Lewis Hamilton is back out on softs and improves with his first time in the 1:20s for today. He clocks a 1:20.941 to move up to fourth on the timing screens.

  5. Kevin Magnussen hasn't been out for the while, with his Haas having had an ERS-related component issue. Seems like that has now been sorted and he should be back in the mix soon.

    Marcus Ericsson and Sergio Perez are also on the track.

    David Morris: I hate to say it, but with Mclaren’s issues this testing, is it now proof that it’s an issue with the team rather than engine manufacturer? Toro Rosso seem to be doing fine with Honda so far..

    James Howe: I can't see a McLaren doing a representative race distance at all in these tests, why don't they spend the time rebuilding the car and ironing out the problems. Get a grip

  8. Latest times

    Another red flag - the third of the day.

    This time it is Max Verstappen's Red Bull that appears to have encountered a problem.

  13. Andrew Benson
    BBC Sport’s chief F1 writer

    McLaren say the problem that stopped Vandoorne just now was a loss of hydraulic pressure.

  14. Lewis Hamilton is closing in on 50 laps for the afternoon. It's the traditional big three who have done the most laps so far today, Mercedes leading the way with 134.
