I think it'll be interested to see who's doing what - but seeing who does the most laps will probably be bigger than fastest times.

I'm kind of surprised that Force India's shakedown hasn't allowed them to be straight out - you'd think that was the point, to get some of the gremlins sorted out already (I know it's a bit more complicated than that though ;).

THis is baffling to me. Why are they doing systems checks while on Jerez? They could certainly have done those at the factories? Sometimes I dont get F1 teams at all.

because the cars get taken apart then put back together at the track. Because they don't want to jump the gun and cause damage which would lose them more time

Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

10:02 Perez won't complete that lap though - he's stopped out on circuit, and we're back to reds.

Bye guys, be back this evening

'Pirelli have also given details of the tyre allocation available to teams this week as they undertake their first tentative laps with radically redesigned cars.

'Besides the usual four slick tyres - supersoft, soft, medium and hard - the company is also bringing a special one-off 'winter' compound to Jerez, in order to minimise the effect of potentially low ambient temperatures on track time.

'According to Pirelli, 'This is a hard compound that has been optimised to work well even in low temperatures, reducing the risk of graining (which is a common characteristic of cold weather running)'.

'With teams allowed a total of 135 sets of tyres for testing this year, 25 sets have been set aside for Jerez. Twelve 'base' slick compounds - 'winter', hard and medium - have been selected by Pirelli in collaboration with the teams to reflect the characteristics of the Jerez track, which has a fairly rough surface and doesn't favour tyres from the softer end of the range.

Hamilton sets a 1:33.305. It's the first timed lap we've had so far after almost two and a half hours of running.. But the Mercedes has once again popped back into its garage.

Aha, good news for Ferrari fans - approximately one hour after his car came to a sudden halt after four corners, Kimi Raikkonen is coming back out...

Massa in the Ferrari set a fastest time of 1:17.879 at Jerez last year over the four days, just so we have a working marker ...
