Three different days, and three different teams have topped the sheets.

No, Massa set the fastest time overall, and he only drives for Ferrari

Racechick retweeted this on twitter - a comment from Nico Rosberg which I thought I'd share:

Great day of testing! No probs at all with car & got through our entire program,even time for pitstop practice. Massa time doesnt worry me!

Pirelli @Pirelli_Media
Fastest time on soft today = Massa (1.17.879), fastest time on medium = Rosberg (1.18.766), fastest time on Hard = Raikkonen (1.19.200).

I believe Button's time on day 1 was on hards.

Massa's time may not worry Rosberg, but it may worry Mercedes.

Likewise Grosjean's fastest time yesterday was on mediums, was it not?

I believe Pirelli have said the expected time gap between compounds is half a second too, although i don't know if that is track specific (i would assume so) or a general guideline. edit - ""We have still seen peak performances of half a second between different levels, and the hard tyre has been working quite well considering those conditions to get through their work, but there has been this stripping action across the top of the tyres."

Ferrari goes KABOOM.

de la Rosa never has much luck

Quite a bit of damage, the team is saying it will get back on track but it will take some time. Sad for Pedro really.

Ferrari goes KABOOM.

At least it happened now but its rare for a Ferrari to blow up these days!

There are obviously quite a few changes changes to the mechanical parts etc at the rear of the car. Few reports saying it was an oil leak that caught fire. This is what testing is for. I just feel for Pedro really - hope they get the car back on track so he can get a few laps under his belt.

I read on the Sky feed that they say he will be back on track early afternoon....

There's something jus wrong with that picture, the f138 parked right in front of the miascuderia.com tire wall banner.

That's good advertisement right there.

Missing-in-action Scuderia.com.....for the rest of the day at least.

So Redbull leads final day. Merc catches up a bit more with Lewis with 69 laps.

Can't really conclude anything in terms of pace, anyone have an idea which tyres these guys were running on when they set their best laps?
