Rain Ruins Barcelona Test
The weather was the only winner on day three of the first real pre-season test, as heavy rain washed out all proceedings in Barcelona.
Mika Salo was the only driver to record a flying lap, although most others ventured out for a single exploration lap before most agreed that the conditions were too bad to continue. Some, however, decided to press ahead in the hope of extending their F1 mileage.

Minardi rookies Marc Gene and Donny Crevels both received their first taste of F1 in the wet, but the day ended on a sour note as the Dutchman spun his M198 into a wall, albeit without injury.
