Virgin on Twitter:
"Installation lap OK on rebuilt car - a new start procedure outside the garage highlighted a small heat shield issue which is being fixed."
Lotus technical chief Mike Gascoyne on Twitter:
"Seat fixing broken so a bit of down time to repair."
1035: Australian Red Bull driver Mark Webber set the fastest time on the opening day in Barcelona and said afterwards on his new
Twitter account:
"Good day's work. Still learning loads about new wagon, team performing well, I have the feeling it is going to be tight in the Middle East!!"
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt on Twitter:
"Timo Glock has eased the repaired Virgin out for what is known as an installation lap. Now he's gone back to the pits, maybe for a cupper."
1023: Vitantonio Liuzzi and Jaime Alguersuari are busy trading times this morning. Alguersuari reclaims second only for Italian Liuzzi to nab it back with a 1:21.056.
1017: Now this commentary would be nothing without you lot so here's how you can get involved. There's
606,
you can text me on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 or you can use the ultra-modern
Twitter.
I would like to apologise in advance for the photo on my account, I look as if I'm bursting for the loo. I must do something about it. Anyway, get in contact and I'll use as many contributions as I can throughout the day. Excellent.
BBC Sport's pit-lane reporter Lee McKenzie:
"I spoke to a buoyant Mike Gascoyne in Barcelona. The Lotus F1 technical director has been happy with both the car's performance and reliability and says the team are exactly where they hope to be. He also tells me that because of time constraints, the team are already running quite close to their Bahrain set-up. But the former Renault and Toyota technical chief says the car could be stronger aerodynamically."

Lotus on Twitter:
"22 laps in and the sun's shining (first real heat on UK skin since Oct 09 - those of us with northern euro complexions looking a bit nervous)."
0959: Following yesterday's crash, Virgin are the only team not have come out so far today. Here's the latest from their
Twitter feed:
"The guys are busy completing the car rebuild after a long night at the track and Timo will be hitting the asphalt very soon..."
0953: It was an action-packed opening day at the Circuit de Catalunya on Thursday, with numerous red flags, a crash for Brazilian Lucas di Grassi which ended the day's testing for Virgin, and a fastest time of one minute, 21.487 seconds set by Mark Webber in the Red Bull. Alonso has already eclipsed that this morning with his 1:20.738, Force India's Vitantonio Liuzzi has just gone second with a 1:21.812, Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari is third while Hamilton is currently fifth quickest after a 1:22.924.
BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Barcelona:
"It is a gloriously sunny day in Barcelona with winter blue skies and the temperature rising to 14C. After what he described as "not a perfect" first day, Fernando Alonso has got out of bed in fiery mood for Ferrari. The Spaniard has made the morning even better for the flock of home fans as he has clocked the fastest time seen at the Barcelona test so far with a 1:20.738. More significantly, Alonso set that time during a run of consistently fast laps which suggests he probably had a fair splash of fuel on board. Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton is back in the car for McLaren, Michael Schumacher returns for Mercedes while Robert Kubica is at the helm of the Renault. More than plenty to keep us occupied on day two of the final test, I'd say."

0936: Morning gang. Yesterday we had Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and Mark Webber, now it's the turn of Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and er... Alonso again. Welcome to the second day of the event they are now calling, 'Barcelona pre-season testing'.
