Jerez first 2014 test Test day two

19:11 That's it for AUTOSPORT's live coverage for today. Our team of journalists have headed out to the paddock to get reaction from a day that was far busier - for some teams at least.

Keep up with all the reaction from the teams and drivers on autosport.com, and look out for the thoughts of Gary Anderson and Edd Straw in features for subscribers to AUTOSPORT PLUS as well over the next few hours.

Our live service will resume first thing tomorrow.

Jenson Button F1 McLaren 2014

19:08 Day 2 results:

1 Jenson Button (McLaren) 1m24.165s, 43 laps
2 Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) 1m24.812s, 47 laps
3 Valtteri Bottas (Williams) 1m25.344s, 35 laps
4 Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) 1m25.588s, 97 laps
5 Sergio Perez (Force India) 1m28.376s, 37 laps
6 Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) 1m33.270s, 53 laps
7 Marcus Ericsson (Caterham) 1m37.975s, 11 laps
8 Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) 1m38.320s, 8 laps

19:01 So Button tops the timesheets for McLaren, while Rosberg - fourth overall - comes close to breaking into triple figures.

Not such great news for the Renault-powered cars, which managed a collective 11 laps on this second day.

19:00 The chequered flag flies, and day two comes to a close. Rosberg and Raikkonen were still out as it fell.

18:59 As Caterham counts the time down, Rosberg racks the laps up. He's almost into triple figures - 95 and counting now.

18:57 @CaterhamF1: "8 minutes left of day two and we're aiming to send out @Ericsson_Marcus for one last run. Busy garage right now!"

18:56 Sure enough, he comes round and starts his 93rd tour of Jerez, equalling the same number of laps set by the entire field during yesterday's running.

18:55 He heads in after a two-lap burst, and just before Raikkonen goes back out.

Rosberg is just one away from the 93-lap mark...

18:54 Unsurprisingly, this will be Gutierrez's final stint of the day:

@OfficialSF1Team: "Last run of the day for the #C33 #pushpush."

18:51

Esteban Gutierrez F1 Sauber 2014

Gutierrez isn't done yet either, as he heads out for Sauber.

18:49 Mercedes using flow visualisation paint on the back of Rosberg's car for these final laps. With 10 minutes remaining, he's onto 88 laps for the day.

18:46 That doesn't last long however, as Rosberg heads back out.

Raikkonen meanwhile ducks into the pitlane, but he doesn't stop, instead heading down to the end for another practice start.

18:44 Rosberg pits, leaving Raikkonen alone on track.

18:42 Williams has wrapped up its second day:

@WilliamsF1Team: "That's it for us for today folks as Valtteri adds 35 laps to his tally #Jerez"

18:40

Nico Rosberg

Incidentally, the average laps per engine manufacturer for today (so far) stand at:

Mercedes - 50 (199 total)
Ferrari - 43 (86 total)
Renault - 6 (11 total)

18:39 Raikkonen heads out for Ferrari, and is joined shortly by (who else?) Rosberg.

18:38 Which is a good time to recount some lap counts for the day.

Nico Rosberg leads the way with 84, followed by:

Gutierrez (51)
Button (43)
Perez (37)
Bottas (35)
Raikkonen (34)
Ericsson (11)
Vettel (8)

18:35 And with that, quiet falls upon Jerez. Just 24 minutes of the day to run.

18:33 And he finally pits, bringing to an end a 24-lap run. Rosberg's lap tally currently stands at 84, just nine short of the total of all the cars on day one.

18:31 Rosberg's time has slipped back into the 1m28s on the last couple of laps, Mercedes the only team running long enough to run the risk of proper tyre wear on the Pirelli hards.

18:30 Kimi comes straight in, so it is just Rosberg out on track with half an hour to run.

18:30

Marussia F1 2014

Marussia's 2014 challenger has arrived.

With luck, the team will have the car ready to run at some point tomorrow.

18:28 Raikkonen heads out once more, Gutierrez pits. And Rosberg comes by to complete his 81st lap of the day, still in the 1m27s.

18:24 Gutierrez improves slightly to 1m33.270s.

18:23 Scratch that, Rosberg has already made it into a double-figure run earlier today and seems to be doing so again. That is a much further range than anyone else has been willing (or able?) to try.

18:22 Button pits again and Gutierrez takes the Sauber out. Rosberg continues to go round. He has been lapping in the 1m27s and 1m28s for some time now, easily the longest run so far.

18:18 And the McLaren man manages a 1m24.591s, the second quickest lap of the test so far.

18:18

Jenson Button F1 McLaren 2014

Touching tribute on Jenson Button's helmet:

@McLarenF1: "RIP Papa - a touching memento on the helmet of @JensonButton."

18:15 Button goes back out. So we have McLaren and Mercedes out on the circuit, with Kimi having brought the Ferrari back in.

18:12 Kimi comes in, stops at the pitlane exit, then blasts the Ferrari back out again after Rosberg's Mercedes has shot by.

18:10 Bottas now pits too, leaving Rosberg heading towards the 70-lap mark today.

18:09 Rosberg is running quite close to Bottas now and the two are lapping in the 1m26s.

18:08 Button is in, but Bottas, Raikkonen and Rosberg are still circulating.

18:05 Raikkonen goes back to third with 1m25.348s.

18:04 Bottas improves again and Rosberg also goes quicker.

Raikkonen enters the fray. The Ferrari and Button are on the mediums, Rosberg is on the normal Pirelli hard, and Bottas is on the special Jerez winter hard.

18:00 Bottas improves to 1m25.462s to go second.

17:57 And he is joined by Bottas and Rosberg. Button goes miles faster than anyone has so far, 1m24.165s.
