And thankfully it was over! Here's our report from today's testing:
Bottas and Grosjean make up the front row. Raikkonen and Sirotkin occupy the second row. Alonso looking to get the jump from fifth.
There are thick black lines heading off the circuit on the exit of Turn 12 to the gravel where Leclerc's Sauber came to a stop.
So Renault has clocked up 190 laps between its two drivers today - cumulatively that's just eight laps shy of three Spanish Grand Prix distances.
We're not going to declare the action definitely over until race control tells us they aren't extending the day by five minutes or sending the cars out for a practice start or something.
Either way, that's the session surely over. Four minutes left on the clock and Leclerc's Sauber is firmly beached in the gravel at Turn 12.
We may be into the final 10 minutes, but that's not putting off Hartley. A 1m19.823s puts him fifth - one place, incidentally, ahead of Alonso.
Alonso meanwhile has finally cracked 50 - five more than Raikkonen, but the Finn has only been driving the Ferrari in the afternoon.
Ricciardo still getting the laps in between pitstop practice, he's up to 164. Hulkenberg now just a lap shy of a century, giving Renault a very impressive total of 187 for the day.
Last gasp improvement for Hartley with just over 15 minutes to go. The Kiwi does a 1m20.287s on ultrasofts, putting him ninth.
