More likely that they are happy that the results from their running so far matches what the CFD predicted it would be. As such they don't need to spend every second chasing lap time, although I'd expect them all to pull something out of the bag on the C5 tyres on the last day.
Bog all. Not even Ted *now he's been confirmed as being part of the coverage this year*
Soldato
Yeah, seems odd not to have any coverage.
Mercedes no longer hiding, good time with the second hardest compound https://www.autosport.com/f1/live/2856679/barcelona-f1-test-two-day-three-2019

Williams though. Ouch.
I had high hopes for a Williams revival at the start of the hybrid era but they're just sinking like a stone now.

Leclerc putting in a 1:17:2 on the same tyre as Hamilton putting in a 1:18:0.
We cant tell anything really from these times, other than the cars seem to be faster again then last year. Quickest testing time last year a 1:17:1 on they hypersoft. Comparatively the C2 Leclerc used is roughly in line with last years medium, ish.

Also, Barcelona circuit is where normally qualification times are extremely close - like 10 drivers in a second... https://www.autosport.com/f1/live/2856679/barcelona-f1-test-two-day-three-2019

Gasly's just put his car into the barrier at Turn 9, quite hard by the sound of things.

Wasn't too bad: https://www.formula1.com/en/video/2019/2/Testing_Day_2__Gasly_hits_the_barriers_at_Turn_13.html
Went in backwards and will have probably lunched the gearbox, but he'll be fine.

They're still .3s off Ferrari though. McLarens pace seems more promising as they're only .7s off, and that's .8s faster than Alonso went in Q3 last season. Part of me thinks they're running under weight to try and grab some headlines and sponsors, though.
Caporegime
Well, Bottas is anyway. How much was Bottas trailing behind Hamilton last season?
Caporegime
Well, Hamilton kinda proved my point there....
