Thankfully, following the racist incidents witnessed in Barcelona last week, there were no repeats at Jerez yesterday, where Lewis Hamilton was leading the way.
However, all eyes will be on the Spanish track today when Fernando Alonso arrives to continue his test programme with Renault.
There were just a handful of fans present yesterday, with some within the paddock saying they had never seen it so quiet.
According to Pitpass sources, neither the teams nor the FIA have asked for any extra measures to be put in place, however, we understand that only a limited number of passes have been issued for the test, with team guests limited to the paddock and circuits visitors to the main grandstand.
In anticipation of a repeat of last week's behaviour three British broadcasters (BBC, ITV and Sky) had representatives in attendance.
