It is set to be a very cold week in Barcelona, as pre-season F1 testing gets underway on Monday morning. Local weather reports suggest that temperatures will be low throughout the week, with rain - maybe even snow - expected.
Last year, the Circuit de Catalunya had to be artificially saturated to get some testing done on wet tyres. However, it is likely that this year, rain will fall naturally: "It should be cold," agreed Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. "I don't know how much we will learn."

Mercedes' James Allison says that lap times may not be worth as much this year, but everyone is in the same boat: "It's never easy to do your tyre homework in Barcelona," he said. "First, it's usually cold. Secondly, the circuit has recently been resurfaced, which distorts the comparative data from previous years. But the situation is the same for everyone."
F1 testing begins at 9 AM Barcelona time, and you can follow all of the live updates on F1Today.net.
