Valencia February Test Test day three

19:04 That's all from AUTOSPORT's live coverage of the Valencia test. We hope you have enjoyed it. Thank you for reading us.

Tune in again from February 10 to follow the second test of 2010 at Jerez

19:02 You can see the final times on the right side of the screen

19:01

Fernando Alonso, Valencia testing

The day is over and Alonso remains on top, with Ferrari having dominated all three days of the test

Only the Italian team has lapped in the 1:11s this week

19:00 Alonso lapping again in the 1:11s. Just a few seconds left on the clock

18:59 It seems there will be no "glory runs" today and the timesheet will remain unchanged at the top

18:56 Button back into the pits. Looks like the day is over for the McLaren driver

18:55 With five minutes left Petrov leaves the pits

18:52 Alguersuari returns to the pits without setting a time

18:52 Button and Alguersuari also jump onto the track

18:50 Ten minutes left and Alonso is the only man on track, much to the delight of the Spanish fans

18:49 Schumacher: "I wouldn't expect to be winning right from the beginning. It wasn't something that I was aiming for and expecting to be the case. But we need to be strong enough on development."

Full story on AUTOSPORT soon.

18:43 Petrov improves to 1:13.097. The Russian is still sixth quickest

18:41 Schumacher has confirmed that a "little hydraulic leak" has ended his day early

18:39 110 laps for Alonso so far today. Ferrari well over 300 over the course of the three days

18:36 All three Spaniards - Alonso, de la Rosa and Alguersuari - are on track now

18:31 Will the times stay unchanged or will @NobleF1 have to re-write his whole report?

18:30 Last 30 minutes of the test

18:28 Alonso now pits and Button is the only man left on track

18:27 And Alonso gets ahead of Button as the Briton backs off

18:26 The crowd is loving this. It's their own little GP

18:25 Alonso set to be right behind Button in a few minutes once again..

18:23 Alonso didn't come into the pits. He just backed off to get some clean air

18:22 With 38 minutes left, only Alonso and Massa have managed to lap the circuit in the 1:11s

18:21 The "race" is over as Alonso returns to the pits

18:20 Looks like Alonso and Button have their own private little race now

18:19 Fireworks set off in the grandstands as Alonso chases Button's McLaren

18:16 Kubica, who also did two full days, managed 188 laps. Barrichello's two days add up to 177

18:15 Of course Massa had two full days of testing while most rivals haven't

18:13 It looks like no one will get close to Massa's total of 226 laps over his two days of testing

18:11 Button joins Alonso on track. Meanwhile, Schumacher has officially finished testing for the day

18:10 Alonso on track again, lapping in the low 1:13s

18:08 Michael Schumacher speaking to the media in 10 minutes. Looks like he finished his day early

18:07 Ticket prices for the test were from 5 to 25 euros. That's quite a bit of money the circuit made

18:04 Official spectator figures from Valencia: 36,400 fans today. A total of 59,100 over the three days. Some GPs would like such crowd

18:03 @ClaireVWilliams: Our old Nico (Rosberg) stopped in our box by mistake yesterday - he must be missing us!

17:53 The grandstands have emptied progressively as the end of the session nears. Looks like people want to avoid the traffic madness

17:48 All the cars are now back in the pits

17:45 Times at the top haven't changed for a while, with Alonso still ahead of de la Rosa and Schumacher

17:32 Alonso running in the 1:15s/1:16s with a lot of fuel onboard by the looks of it

17:25 Ross Brawn speaking to BBC's @sarahholt: "It's always very difficult to judge. On full tanks yesterday (Tuesday) we didn't look too bad but we're a little bit off on pace and (there are problems with) the handling and balance of the car which we can fix for (the next test in) Jerez. We know what the problem is.

"Of course the other teams will be progressing as well so we are reasonable, not as quick as Ferrari and Lewis looked quick yesterday. So it looks like we've got a bit of work to do."
