Are there any dry days expected for the remainder of this test?

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Tomorrow morning is expected to be dry.

I have a feeling Barrichello will be out piling in the laps as soon as the pit light goes green.

Yeah, i bet they all will if it's dry though. The amount of times i have read that a Williams has 'pulled to a halt on track' recently is a major concern...

If anyone finds a pic of this new Ferrari diffuser please post it! I've been looking around for one myself.

I've noticed that they are quite frequent. Is it always the same issue?

Something makes me want to say the Williams were struggling with electrical grimlins but I'm not sure, I hope its not engine issues?

They apparently have more miles on the engine than anyone so I guess not

Sam Michael said they were "small" issues. Somehow the first one that saw the car in the garage for two hours I don't think was "small"... unless it involved removing hydraulic fluid and they ended up spilling it and had to clean it up again.

The second occasion Barrichello stopped on track it wasn't long before he came back out, but it is quite frustrating because he hasn't had so much time in the dry, and his feedback is critical. Having said that Hulkenberg has been doing a good job too, providing more feedback than the crasher and the male escort provided.

wtf is that sticking out of Ferrari's wheels? Is it for Schumacher?

And they were driving around with a bag at the back to hide their new diffuser - I hope the paranoia is a good sign.

Both Virgin and Lotus have had trips into the gravel traps today. I'm assuming these new cars aren't easy to drive. I remember Davidson talking about 2008 Super Aguri and saying how difficult it was drive, because it simply wasn't a good car.

Still raining in Jerez and with just one other test at Barcelona, pre-season testing isn't going at all well. There's now talk about moving to somewhere else for testing next year.

You know what I don't get? In previous years, Toyota and Ferrari tested at Bahrain. With the first race of this season now being in Bahrain, why didn't they schedule the final test later and over in Bahrain so that all the equipment would be over there for the first race and track conditions would be good? I know there is still the risk of sandstorms in Bahrain, but they are much rarer than the rain that has plagued the European testing.

I think @ this perticular point we are starting to see the real speed of some cars and drivers.

shame that Kovi has taken the nose of the Lotus, and the new part is due in at 2am... Lotus could do with track time.
