That's a wrap! Two weeks of testing done and dusted. It's been trickier than usual to get a read on the competitive order - remember that snow? - but patterns have already emerged about who's in good shape and who has a bit more work today over the next fortnight.
We'll have more reaction to testing and build up to the start of the new season in the coming days, but for now we'll leave you with one final report. Thanks for joining us for the past couple of weeks.

Chequered flag! Testing is over.

Two minutes to go. No more late excitement, please.
There it is! Alonso's lap is struck from the books. As you were.
Information
We understand - thankfully - that Alonso cut the track and that effort will be scrapped. Stand by...
Everyone who's made a start on their report will be hoping the latter (this scribe very much included).
Stopwatch
Hold the phone... Alonso fastest of all with a 1m16.720s? Could that be a genuine lap or has there been chicane cutting involved?
Stroll inches into the 1m19s, but stays 12th.
Autosport
Fast times for McLaren at the end of the day, but racing director Eric Boullier says the team's testing reliability problems are down to the team not doing a good enough job in its preparations: 
Twitter
Another improvement by Alonso - a 1m17.784s. Drama in Spain as we enter the final 15 minutes.
Alonso sends the crowd (if it can be called that) into raptures with a late 1m17.981s effort on hypersofts. It puts him second ahead of Sainz.

F1 testing might be winding down, but fear not - We've got even more live coverage for you this evening with updates from Rally Mexico! Why not head over to the link below post-session to find out how nine-time WRC champion Sebastien Loeb fares on his first start in more than three years:

Next time round for Sainz is a 1m18.082s, which is 0.871s shy of Raikkonen's best from the morning.
Sainz is making good use of this last smidgen of track time after his earlier stoppage, and just jumped into second with a 1m18.164s.
Information
We're into the final 30 minutes. Nearly there...
Stroll finds another tenth with another PB, but remains seven tenths behind Hamilton in 11th.
Stroll improves to a 1m20.292s, but remains 12th and last.
Alonso improves again, leapfrogging Leclerc with a 1m19.177s.
Twitter
Alonso now gets in on the action with a new PB of 1m19.127s.
It's all kicking off in the final hour! Sainz has gone fourth-fastest on hypersofts, while Leclerc has also done a new personal best.
Now Ricciardo has gone second-fastest on a 1m18.327s, overhauling Grosjean.
Ricciardo has found more time on the supersofts, logging a 1m18.431s that time round.
Minor improvement there by Bottas, who stays fourth with an effort a tenth slower than Ricciardo.
Grosjean has now reached the 150-lap milestone in the Haas. Six more laps and he'll overhaul Hartley to be the day's most productive runner.
Ricciardo makes a sizeable jump up the leaderboard, slotting into third with a 1m18.715s on supersofts.
Twitter
Worth noting that Ricciardo is back on track after an absence of an hour and 20 minutes.
Leclerc has donned the pink-marked hypersofts and improved to a 1m19.450s.
Ocon was looking like breaking the 150 lap mark, but he's pitted a lap shy.
