I suspect there's still a significant problem with the Honda PU, and Alonso was sent back out to post a time in order to make the day relatively worthwhile. Hopefully they'll get it fixed overnight, and we'll see some decent times posted tomorrow - but 1:25 isn't desperately bad if they are still seeing issues.

Seems like a quiet competition between Merc and Ferrari. Every time Merc posts a fast time, Ferrari comes back with a similar time and whats more, while Merc is posting fastest time on Softs, Ferrari is doing it on Mediums!

Ricciardo storming up the board - 1:23.372.

Alonso looking like he's heading back out too. Fingers crossed... I want to see what that PU can actually do.
