Barcelona second F1 test day two

Live Text

Ericsson took over from Wehrlein in the afternoon yesterday when we expected the Mercedes junior to do the whole day, so it's not hugely surprising that they are splitting duties again today.
Bottas, Verstappen and Wehrlein join Alonso on track. That's right, Wehrlein – so we've been fooled by the Sauber entry on the driver line-up list again.
"Shut your mouth Autosport Live," says Alonso. The McLaren-Honda driver trundles down the pitlane and onto the track to kick off the morning's running.
Green light! The morning session begins. No immediate takers...
Here's who we are expecting to see today:

Mercedes: Bottas/Hamilton
Red Bull: Verstappen
Ferrari: Raikkonen
Force India: Perez
Williams: Massa/Stroll
McLaren: Alonso
Toro Rosso: Sainz
Haas: Grosjean
Renault: Hulkenberg/Palmer
Sauber: Ericsson
Air and track temperature is just over 10C at the moment. Yesterday the ambient temperature rose into the mid-teens while the track hit around 20C by the end of the day.
Hello again from Barcelona. We're here and raring to go. The second day of this final test will kick off in 10 minutes.
