That's it for today. Tomorrow's commentary from Barcelona will kick off at 8am UK time
@mikegascoyne: Jarno went out on new tyres but stopped with another steering rack hydraulic problem. Lots of work tonight. Generally very good progress on setup direction today from Jarno. Long way to go but direction very clear
@clairevwilliams: We won!! Session ended just a couple of mins early as Alonso spun off, leaving the Hulk at the top of the charts
Session has been flagged off
It looks as though Alonso has caused the red flag
Just two minutes to go for someone to knock the Williams rookie off top spot
Schumacher in, just Alonso left on track
A bit of Ferrari humour. Clearly happy with their day...
@insideferrari: It is possible that some rabbits will be around as usual in the last minutes of the afternoon session

@insideferrari: A very intense afternoon for Alonso. Race simulation completed successfully Now there is a lot of work for the engineers to analyse the data
Alonso, de la Rosa and Hamilton out at restart
It's definitely Trulli who has caused the red flag, but it's not clear why yet
It looks like it might be the Lotus again. Everyone else back in
Another red flag
Alonso into the 1m21s, 6 laps into run
... and then goes in the pits. That's a couple of short runs since the session restarted. Qualifying simulation runs?
Hulkenberg does a 1m20.857s
Alonso and de la Rosa in 1m22s, but fuel levels unknown

Some team-to-team love from the Williams camp
@clairevwilliams: http://twitpic.com/15fto6 - It's not in my nature to be nice about other teams (sorry!) but I'm loving the Lotus!
