Great day today, just back from the circuit. Mercedes and Rosberg were amazing, pushing through all those laps and the car was clearly well within its capabilities. Vettel’s fasted lap was pushing pretty hard in comparison, and I don’t think that there was much to be gained from looking at the lap times.

Having attended last year’s test too I believe that there’s a change to the engine note this year. The cars are definitely louder but now they’re even more distinctive. The Mercedes has much more of an exhaust note than the others and it is very distinctive.
The McLaren was poor, and immediately reminded me of the struggles that Renault had. It isn’t fuelling properly – very rich – and the gear changes are not synchronised well. Lots to do there, and they took delivery of a lot of parts mid-afternoon. Hopefully better luck for Jenson tomorrow.
