Nico Rosberg set the quickest time on the final day of pre-season testing in Barcelona.
This was the last test before the season kicks off in two weeks time at the Albert Park track in Melbourne.
The day was a wet affair with torrential rain in the morning leaving all the teams stuck inside their garages until Lewis Hamilton ventured out before lunchtime to set the first lap of the day.
The afternoon saw more rain, though to a lesser extent, which meant Nico Rosberg could set a 1:43.814 to go quickest ahead of Williams driver Pastor Maldonado.
Hamilton slotted into third, seven tenths off the lead pace.
With Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams and McLaren the only teams in attendance, it meant just five drivers attempted laps, although Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso failed to set a timed lap.
