Sky F1 will only be showing the final 2 hours of the test session for the next 4 days, so turn the SKY F1 channel on at 2 GMT.

That would be such a blast to watch......I remember watching the world cup soccer in 3D in the cinema's and there were times I felt like I was sitting on the pitch.....imagine a 3d camera in the middle of the pit straight with the car coming at full taps towords you and watching it in 3D giving you the impression that you were sitting in the middle of the pit straight......that would be tremendous [-o<

looking forward to some footage this afternoon, I assume they have filmed the action from this morning to show during quiet periods.

Perhaps they don't think there's much to be learnt from this kind of wet running.

In fact, perhaps they think that - since they're struggling to "understand" the car anyway - this data would only confuse the issue.

EDI: Plus it's wetter than when the faster times were set

Weather makes following times even less meaningful than usual. The only interesting bit is teams' approach to drivers. Two rainy days, followed by two dry ones. One would guess that mixing it up is a no-brainer. Not for everyone, which fits well within lying about team orders and drivers equality mindset.

Massa on dry tyres and consistently improving his time, so ending to the session should hopefully be a bit more exciting :D

Unfortunately they are expecting rain in the next couple of minutes.
