Nico Rosberg set the fastest time of the last pre-season test session in a very wet Circuit de Barcelona.
The day's time sheet was played in the last quarter of an hour with pouring rain making the track impracticable in the morning - even wet tires were insufficient!
Lewis Hamilton set the only morning session time just before lunchbreak. Pastor Maldonado and Nico Rosberg joined Hamilton on track in the afternoon.
The three drivers were the only ones to record a lap time in this last day of testing.
Ferrari went on track for five exploratory installation laps by Fernando Alonso but quickly gave-up and left the track in mid-afternoon.
Hispania Racing did not run since its dampers were still stuck in customs.
