But bad news for McLaren fans. The MP4-30 is up on its stand in the garage and there's no sign of the team coming out any time soon...

So what about Red Bull? After a difficult first test at Jerez, the RB11 has certainly racked up a lot of laps in the last two weeks at Barcelona - but we haven't really seen much in the way of outright pace. In fact, Daniel Ricciardo propped up the timesheet yesterday with the team clearly not engaging in qualy-style simulations like a number of their rivals.
Here's Sky F1's David Croft on that perennial power deficit problem:
"I had a chat with Christian Horner yesterday after he'd been out to have a look at the cars on the track and asked him what was good and what was bad about the RB11.
"He said 'I think the change of direction's lovely, it looks quite stable, but we're still 70 horsepower down on the power unit'. Whilst Renault have produced a power unit that is more reliable than this time last year - not that it would take much to do that - the drieveability and the power still needs addressing from Red Bull's point of view.
"They feel they're a little bit hamstrung in terms of competing with Mercedes and Ferrari because if they're on the straight they'd be going backwards instead of forwards relative to them."
