No fewer than eight teams passed the 100-lap mark on Day 2 of the first 2016 Formula One pre-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Tuesday.

Among them, thankfully, were McLaren-Honda, who finally appear to be making reasonable progress after enduring their worst season during 2015 in 35 years.

The team's lack of competitiveness saw Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button score just 27 points over the course of last season, with the team's struggles raising concerns over the former's willingness to continue in F1.

Since the end of last year, it had been thought that Alonso's first on-track appearance of 2016, and his first impressions of the new MP4-31 car, would decide his short-term future after a member of his own team suggested a sabbatical could be on the cards.

But after enjoying his first day back, Alonso is very much here to stay.

With a look at the still all-conquering Mercedes team, the head-to-head battle between Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, the new-look Manor outfit's impressive decision-making, and the trials and tribulations of Renault, here are five observations from Day 2 in Spain.
