Someome here said RB were not using 8th gear on the straights, so I think everyone at the top teams are masking many things
I also see that today on onboard cam.
Can confirm. I saw that too.
But not at the c4 attampt when He overcooked last Turn.
He used 8ht gear on the main straight and even went 0.180 faster than Bottas in 1st sector.

Saving the best for last, with around fifty minutes of the session remaining, the Red Bull star headed out on a fresh set of C4s, the first time he had used the red-banded rubber. At the second split he was up on pace-setter Valtteri Bottas, but a mistake in the final sector caused him to back off.

The youngster subsequently bolted on another set and went for it again, this time crossing the line at 16.269 to go second, 0.073s off Bottas’ best.

A cool down lap was followed by another hot lap and by the second split he was still only 0.088s off the pace. However a late mistake saw him abort the lap.

In all honesty it was never going to work, what with the tyres only being good for one lap and the RB16 looking to be a real handful.

With twelve minutes of the session remaining he went for it once again, still sticking with the C4s. At the first split he was 0.298s up on Bottas and at second 0.230s up on the Finn. However a minor mistake in T10 caused him to lift off and abort the lap.

Though we never got to see the Red Bull driver - or his teammate - on the softest compound, the RB16 looks good. The 79 laps completed this afternoon, along with the 59 Alex Albon completed this morning, gives the Austrian team more much needed data with which to prepare for Melbourne.

While Bottas' 16.196 topped today's timesheets, his 15.732 from last week remained the Holy Grail, with nobody looking likely to get close.

Following a number of engine related issues for Mercedes over the course of the six days, the German team will be delighted to have got through 169 laps today virtually trouble free. That said, those oil leaks and MGU-H issues are sure to play on the team's mind in the weeks ahead.

Verstappen.nl interviews Max: 'Done everything to make a good impression'

Today was the last test day before the season opener in Australia. Before Max started his last test day, Verstappen.nl spoke with Max Verstappen on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya about last winter, the associated preparations and his expectations for the coming season.

Before the test week is over and the focus changes to Australia, you will get into the car one more time. How do you look back on the last couple of days?

“It went okay. We were able to do our test programme and from our side it feels good. I do not know if it will be enough, but I hope we were able to collect as much data as possible, so if there is something with the balance of the car, we can fix it straight away.”

If you watch video of fastest laps comparison between Bottas and Max, you can see that Max is faster everywhere. It looked like he lifted few times, so it would not topped timing sheets. Red Bull could be extremely strong from start of this season.

That's not what happened. Check above laps.

Verstappen.nl interviews Max, part 2: 'Hopefully the upward trend will continue'

- What do you think of the introduction of a budget cap? And do you think the playing field will be more equal?

- In Australia you will be at the start of your sixth Formula 1 season. Is it all routine now, or are you still a bit tense at the start of a new season?

- How do you look back on the first five years in Formula 1?

- Do you pinch yourself when you see what you have achieved and the fact you belong to the best drivers in the world? Are you able to enjoy your time in Formula 1?

They have expanded their wind tunnel facility in Bedford.
There are some new job offers indicating an expansion of the facility.
