Rain in forecast for final F1 test

Rain is again in the forecast for the final pre-season F1 test of the season at Barcelona.

All the teams have been praying for some dry track time following plenty of showers during the previous two sessions in Jerez. However, it looks like their prayers will go unanswered.

According to the latest forecasts, light rain will fall on Thursday and again on Saturday. It's bad news for McLaren's Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg of Mercedes in particular as they are scheduled to drive on both those days.

Unlike McLaren and Mercedes, Ferrari and the rest of the field have opted to give their drivers two successive days on the track.
