Thanks to heavy rain at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona today, and with little and meaningless running, the teams present, including Honda Racing F1, have opted to extend the test session by one extra day, staying at the circuit until Thursday.

Sources at the circuit have confirmed to RealHondaF1.com that, with today being almost entirely wasted, testing will continue in preparation for the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix, despite a mileage limit being placed on testing this season. Thanks to the weather conditions, the teams have done just a handful of laps today, making little impact on their allowance.

At Honda Racing F1, we understand that Jenson Button is scheduled to take over tomorrow, while Christian Klien will drive the RA107 on the final day of the test.
