Just like its engine supplier's works team did with Hamilton, Williams keeps Bottas out for a second lap on the first run of the day.
Williams - late starters yesterday - send Bottas out nice and early today for his first lap.
Button brings the car back, and switches the engine off very quickly as he pulls up.
As Button heads round the back of the circuit, the Honda engine is clearly not running cleanly at this first attempt.
Jenson Button gently eases the McLaren-Honda out of the garage for its seventh lap of pre-season. The engine note is still some way off of 'singing' like its rivals, but it's early days.
Hamilton returns to the pits after a two-lap installation run, and the track falls quiet.
Picking up where team-mate Rosberg left off yesterday, Hamilton stays out while the others head for the pits. We're three minutes into testing today and already Mercedes has covered more mileage than anyone else.
Kvyat heads out for his first lap as a Red Bull driver.
Three cars head straight out - Vettel in the Ferrari, Nasr in the Sauber, and reigning world champion Hamilton in the Mercedes.

Day two at Jerez is up and running.
Jenson Button will get his first taste of the new McLaren-Honda MP4-30 today. Electronic and control systems problems limited Fernando Alonso to just six laps on day one, but Honda says it has solved those difficulties so Button should hopefully enjoy a cleaner run today.
Here's the full driving line-up for day two in Jerez:
Mercedes – Lewis Hamilton
Red Bull – Daniil Kvyat
Williams – Valtteri Bottas
Ferrari – Sebastian Vettel
McLaren – Jenson Button
Toro Rosso – Max Verstappen
Sauber – Felipe Nasr
Lotus – Romain Grosjean

Vettel will continue driving the Ferrari today, before handing over to Kimi Raikkonen.
The Lotus E23 arrived at the track late yesterday, so might not make its debut until Tuesday, according to the team.

Sebastian Vettel set the headline fastest time on his first day in the new Ferrari SF15-T yesterday, but Nico Rosberg also caught the eye by clocking a monstrous 157 laps in the Mercedes W06.
