It is an engine failure for Ricciardo and his day is over.
So teams with problems, minor or major
Mercedes - Hamilton's halt
Ferrari - Technical issues for Vettel
Red Bull - Engine blow
Toro Rosso - Gelael stopped twice
McLaren - You know
And I think Renault but I'm not sure, my German is bad

After Russia, Galeal will take Kvyat's seat and you'll see KFC indonesia logo's on the rear wing and frontwing end plates! :P

anyway, i don't think there's anything to read from these tests except for seeing what Mclaren will do.
