1042: We have the second red flag of the morning. And it's the Williams of Rubens Barrichello that has visited the gravel at turn five. BBC Sport's Sarah Holt is reporting that the Brazilian is "very much stranded".

1037: You know the drill by now, you get in touch and I'll put it up. Simples. Here's how you do it, there's 606, you can text me on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 or you can use Twitter. And no, I haven't changed the photo yet. Don't keep me hanging now.

From Stargazer on 606 "Mark, be grateful that it is only raining a little. Three quarters of Spain is battening down the hatches for what the media are calling "the perfect storm" - a system that is expected to produce 100mph+ winds today. Barcelona is only on yellow alert (which has risen from yesterday's "no alert" provision for today)."

BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz: "Jenson Button's final day of testing for McLaren didn't get off to the perfect start as he stopped on the track during his installation lap. It was a minor electrical glitch but it did not take long to fix and Button was soon back out. In the last half hour he's been doing pit-stop practice. Red Bull's gamble on a late start didn't quite pay off. The team decided to keep Sebastian Vettel inside the garage to test some components but it looks like they've missed the window for dry running."

1019: Right, some revealing chat after yesterday's testing. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher think that his Mercedes team will not be able to win the first race of the season in Bahrain. "We are not perfectly in the position we would like to be, which is competitive to win straight away," he said. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, is cautiously optimistic that his McLaren is better than the dog he started with last season. "We're in a much stronger position than last year. It feels all new, light years ahead of last year, but we still have a lot of work to do. It seems like Red Bull are quick, clearly some teams are very fast. We still feel we have work to do."

Virgin on Twitter: "Timo [Glock] just gone out on wets. Shame - we could do with some more dry running."

BBC Sport's Sarah Holt in Barcelona: "It's the penultimate day of Formula 1's pre-season testing and the weather has reverted to testing form by presenting us with overcast skies, temperatures of 9C and the odd spot of rain. Despite the overhead gloom, the teams are optimistic that they can fine tune their cars before the opening race on 14 March. Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes plan to add further updates over the weekend and hope to see that converted into a step-up in performance on the track. Eagle eyes spotted a modified front wing and shark fin engine cover on the Ferrari on Friday, when a fiery Fernando Alonso set the second fastest time. F1 aficionados agree that Ferrari have got their nose in front. Can anyone catch up? The teams have two days left to prove they can."

Lotus technical chief Mike Gascoyne on Twitter: "Weather not looking good. A race distance is on the test list so we may as well get on with it."

Lotus on Twitter: "Can't see the mountains now so the weather's definitely worsening. Mood in pit is good after solid start this am."

0948: Some quick updates for you. There's been one red flag, caused by the McLaren of Button stopping on his first lap of the day. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg has set the fastest lap of the morning, a 1:20.686, which is just off the fastest of Williams driver Nico Hulkenberg on Friday. Unfortunately for the teams, there is now more bad weather in Spain with light rain falling at the Circuit de Catalunya.

0940: Hello you. World champion Jenson Button, Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Williams driver Rubens Barrichello are all in action on this, the third day of the final pre-season test in Barcelona. Let's see what they've got.
