Zoom Far from ideal conditions in Barcelona on Wednesday

After adverse weather affected the opening two days of this week's Barcelona test, forecasters are calling for better conditions for the final session today.

Ferrari joined the action at the Circuit de Catalunya on Wednesday, where four other teams are running ahead of the pre-season's last test at the same Spanish venue next week.

After a rainy opening day on Tuesday, conditions on Wednesday remained cold and wet, moving McLaren to again sit out the action altogether as teams altered their scheduled programmes.

"Tomorrow the forecast is better - we have been waiting for these conditions all week, so fingers crossed," said Renault's Fernando Alonso yesterday.

Conditions at Valencia for BMW Sauber's exclusive test were slightly better on Wednesday, but Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld did have to conduct their race simulation on a wet track.
