Rosberg did a 1:24.681 last year to take pole in Barcelona...
Pretty sure around 1 sec difference is down to the new ultrasoft tyres but still, that's quite impressive I think.
I hope the people at Merc are getting a bit anxious ;)
Most likely Merc will turn it up a notch on the last day so lets see what they can do.
