Agree. As per last year, the reason for the split duties for days 3 and 4 was because Mercedes didn't expect to do as many laps as they did in the first 2 days.

And Mercedes also split driving duties in 2015.

[post = melodramatic]Amazing that Hamilton was able to complete one and a half straight days testing there, but Rosberg struggled to just complete the other half day without whinging.

Mercedes F1 have been splitting driving duties since the 2010 pre season tests for various reasons. But don't let the truth get in the way of your hatred towards a certain driver. Think CNN would be very happy to have you reporting for them.
