Thankfully, following yesterday's disappointment, when problems within almost every garage meant limited running, today has been a little better.
As previously reported, following overnight rain it was decided to make today a 'wet day' with all the focus being on wet weather testing. As a result, shortly before the start of today's action the track was artificially soaked in order to allow the teams and Pirelli to try the new wet rubber.
After yesterday's 'no-show', McLaren has been in action today, and going into the lunch break Jenson Button topped the timesheets.
On the other hand an engine problem has seen Daniil Kvyat side-lined all morning, while at Caterham Marcus Ericsson, who completed just one lap yesterday, has managed the same mileage this morning.
Despite a few offs, the only red flag came when Esteban Gutierrez got stuck in the kitty litter at Turn 6.
