02/03/08 The remaining seven teams in Barcelona returned to the track on Sunday morning for the final day of testing at the Spanish Grand Prix venue today. Thousands of fans once again braved the cold weather to support their drivers, although the sun did emerge towards the end of the morning. With last night's rain washing the rubber off the track, this morning's times were slightly slower than yesterday's, with Mark Webber in the Red Bull clocking the fastest time by midday. The Australian was less than half a tenth ahead of second-placed man Heikki Kovalainen.
With Williams packing up yesterday evening to return to the UK, there were just 13 drivers present today, With this being the final day of the test, the teams will be keen to wrap up their programs, and get as many miles on their cars as possible. With just one red flag period, caused by BMW's Nick Heidfeld, most drivers were able to complete decent mileage.
