Rosberg flow-viz
Rosberg earlier had been sent out with flow-viz paint all over the front of his Mercedes steed, as this picture shows, as the Brackley-based team continues to get to grips with its new creation.
* Mercedes logs over 100 laps with Rosberg
* No sign of the new Lotus, which was only sent to Spain today
* Only six laps for Alonso in the McLaren-Honda so far
* Red Bull's morning running comes to a smoky end
* Vettel sets two laps good enough for P1 during a short run
Bottas
Here's today's lap count in full:
Rosberg (Mercedes) 136
Bottas (Williams) 51
Sainz (Toro Rosso) 41
Ericsson (Sauber) 40
Ricciardo (Red Bull) 34
Vettel (Ferrari) 31
Alonso (McLaren) 6
That's some decent recovery work from Williams, which hardly ran at all this morning.
