Red flag
Toro Rosso F1 2014
And it's another red flag as the Toro Rosso grinds to a halt.
Vergne has stopped just past the pit exit. He's out, but this just underlines how terrible this test has been so far for the Renault teams.
Green flag
Green again for the last 40 minutes.
Magnussen goes out again. He has already done 36 laps, despite only taking over from Button this afternoon.
Chilton has also taken the Marussia out. And Hulkenberg joins them now too.
Magnussen is on the mediums and has just gone fastest of all in sector one.
And in sector two...
Stopwatch
Kevin Magnussen McLaren F1 2014
The rookie goes fastest, with 1m23.276s to put McLaren back on top.
Hulkenberg makes a big improvement to, moving the Force India to fifth.
Hulkenberg pits. Magnussen has just done a 1m23.894s, so he has the top two times at Jerez so far.
Magnussen brings the MP4-29 in after his fast run.
Magnussen heads back out. Can he go even quicker?
Team-mate Button said yesterday he thought someone would get into the 1m22s before the end of the week.

Good news for Toro Rosso, as Jean-Eric Vergne heads out.
Red flag
Make that bad news - he doesn't even make it to the pit exit before pulling to a halt. Red flag.
Jean-Eric Vergne F1 Toro Rosso 2014
Helmet in hand, Vergne takes a look around the car before trudging back down the pitlane, just as his crew coming running up from the garage.
McLaren uses the stoppage for a practice pitstop. It's an efficient one too, and Magnussen is on his way - for all of five metres at least, before he stops and is rolled back into the garage.
Caterham meanwhile has wrapped up for the day, meaning Robin Frijns' first official day of running with the team encompasses 10 laps, none of them timed.
Green flag
Green flag, and we're back underway.
Into the final five minutes of day three, and Magnussen, Massa and Chilton are out.
Max Chilton F1 Marussia 2014
Chilton stays out for a first run down the main straight, but then pits next time round. No lap time then, but five laps on the board. Red Bull is on three, Caterham on 10.
Checkered flag
Practice start at the pitlane exit for Alonso, who escapes just before the chequered flag flies.
Twitter
@Marussia_F1Team: "Nice round of applause from the grandstand as @maxchilton completes a fifth and final lap in the new #MR03. A good debut!"
And that's a wrap for day three. Kevin Magnussen keeps McLaren on top in his first official session for the team, while Felipe Massa leapfrogs Lewis Hamilton late on to secure second for Williams.
