That seems as good a time as any for McLaren to tweet a positive tweet. 117 laps so far for Stoffel Vandoorne and there's an hour to go.

Marcus Ericsson has spun at Turn 4.
Rest easy, McLaren fans.
I was just about to say I'm impressed we haven't had a single red flag yet...
Lots and lots of miles being covered today by all the drivers. Every team has completed at least 100 laps now, Pierre Gasly up to 150 for the day in the Toro Rosso.

Kayleigh: Get in! Stoff with the 100! This positive thinking obviously works #bbcf1, external#stoff100, external
Old rivalries, new faces and some very brightly coloured cars... Formula 1 is back for another season of high drama.
As the teams undertake a second round of tweaks and tinkering in Barcelona, we thought we would get some early predictions in.
It's Sunday 25 November and the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi is bathed in the glow of celebratory fireworks. Or maybe Brazil, or Mexico, and so on...
Wherever the winning podium ends up being, who do you think will be lifting the drivers' and constructors' championship titles?
Make your predictions for this season's best and worst performers here.
Image source, .You'll note a quite significant figure in that latest times graphic, with Stoffel Vandoorne surpassing 100 laps for the day.
A much, much better day for McLaren after the last two days.
Image source, F1.comLewis Hamilton, now on supersofts, leaps from 11th to eighth after a 1:19.575.
Seems like as good a time as any for a rundown of the latest lap times.

Johnny Rudd: Can you help us mere mortals who are struggling to keep up with testing.... have Mercedes set a lap with the Hypersofts yet? Do we have anything to compare Seb's laptime with?
Mercedes haven't touched the hypersofts and there's speculation that they haven't even brought them with them to Barcelona. Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel's time of 1:17.182 is 1.967s quicker than the time Lewis Hamilton clocked for pole position at last year's Spanish Grand Prix.
And Carlos Sainz climbs even further as a 1:19.621 moves him into eighth.
Image source, Getty ImagesCarlos Sainz has moved above Lewis Hamilton on the timesheet after a 1:19.882 on softs. He's into P11. Lewis Hamilton, after hitting 50 laps for the afternoon, is back in the pits.
Just Sainz and Stoff on the circuit at the moment.
Although, I didn't expect someone to try and bring me some ham earlier so, you never know.

Just under two hours left and my hope of a random stranger handing over £1,000 is diminishing by the minute (you had to be here from 08:00 GMT to know what this is all about!)...
Chris Marsh: Oh Gary, Gary Gary... "We may well see the McLaren pass 100 for the day.", Why would you do such a thing? That £1,000 looks like the better of the two options now you've implemented the commentators curse!
