Jerez F1 test times - day three: 30 January
Mercedes-powered cars continued to dominate proceedings during the third day of Formula 1 testing at Jerez, with McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen marking his debut by setting the fastest lap time of the test thus far.
His first outing in the MP4-29, Magnussen completed a strong day for the McLaren team, with day two pace setter Jenson Button following up his team-mate in fourth position. The pair were split by a late flyer from Williams' new signing Felipe Massa in second and Lewis Hamilton driving the works Mercedes in third.
In all, five Mercedes-powered cars filled the top six, with Fernando Alonso breaking the run in fifth for Ferrari, ahead of Force India's Nico Hulkenberg.
Meanwhile, Sauber's Adrian Sutil suffered an accident that curtailed his running, Red Bull's technical issues continued and Marussia made its track debut as Max Chilton completed a handful of untimed installation laps.
