Heavy and pe𒁏rsistent rain has frustrated the nine teams attempting to test their latest developments at the Red Bull Ring on day one o🍷f the second in-season F1 test.

With all teams bar Manor staying on at the scene of last Sunday's Austria Grand Prix, the day was expected to be a busy one, but the weather gods had other ideas. With everyone waking to a sodden circuit and no sign of a break in the clouds, the action has been confined to the garages, with only a handful of exploratory laps being completed before t🦩he red flag brought an official end to any ideas of running.

Circuit officials subsequently issued confirmation that there would be no cars on track until after the hour-long lunch break, leaving the likes of Toro Rosso🐟 and Force India to return to plans for an impromptu boat race in the pit-lane👍....
