MONTMELO, Spain - (AP) -- Formula One teams took their cars out to the track early Thursday, trying to make up for the lost time caused by bad weather earlier in the week in preseason testing.
It was a busy morning at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona a day after snowfall and cold temperatures kept most cars in the garage. Only five drivers ventured onto the track on Wednesday, and only Fernando Alonso posted a time with his McLaren.
Temperatures improved for Thursday's final session of the week and teams immediately sent their cars to the track near Barcelona.
