Heavy snowfall is disrupting Wednesday’s running at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, as the unseasonably cold snap continues.
Chilly conditions impacted on teams’ run plans on Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures substantially lower than average, with occasional rain falling.
Snow fell in the region overnight, resulting in a couple of centimetres having settled on foot, and more is currently coming down at the Spanish Grand Prix venue.
While the track surface itself is clear of snow, the start of the session, which was planned for 09:00 local time, has been delayed indefinitely until conditions are safe and clear enough for the medical helicopter to be able to fly.
The forecast is for snow to continue before turning to rain mid-morning.
Air temperature is currently 0.1°c, with the track temperature at 0.6°c.
