There is no lap by lap live timing.

According to Autosport
"21:29 No cool-down laps for Raikkonen, he's still pushing and posts a 1m26.5s on the third timed lap of this run on mediums."

"21:42 Raikkonen puts Ferrari on top after Verstappen and Rosberg post fastest times in quick succession

It's clear that Raikkonen was not running with low fuel or doing a Quali run as he was out the whole 13mins on medium tyres and according to "F1Today.net" he did not pit and was out the whole time even though I think Autosport posted his fastest time a couple of minutes late, it's safe to say he did this time on his 6th or 7th run and maybe 4-5 mins earlier then when Autosport posted it. Anyone know if Rosberg posted his fast time in first test on a low fuel run?

Rosberg: last lap with mediums 1:25.512
Alonso: best lap with softs 1:25.519

Which is the difference between both compounds?

0.5 to 0.8s
Also Rosberg was much faster on mediums: 1:24.329m

/edit
0.8 is for S->SS->US. Jump from M to S is bigger!

Don't try to compare those times. The difference is usually around 1 second for a flying lap, and in a race trim is not that much, also we dont know fuel load and aero set up.

0.8s minimum. When, where and how did you find only 0.5s?

Rosberg on softs now.

1:23.022

/edit 2
If you assume similar improvement for SS->US like Ferrari and RBR had, Rosberg could probably do a low 1.21.

Rosberg was clearly on low fuel when he set the time on medium as he is in pits after 4 runs while Raikkonen was still out and doing around 1:26.

Looks like brake failure on the RedBull.

Seems expected for a track like barcelona.

Did anyone at all post a representative time on hard tires so far?

So Mercedes could do 1.22 or up 1.21 with supersofts
