McLaren racing director Eric Boullier has hit out at the two Formula 1 teams who blocked any possible date change for this week's pre-season test in ꧂Barcelona for having "selfish interests" as snow scuppered much of Wednesday's running.

Cold conditions and a worsening forecast prompted teaꦕms to raise the idea of changing the planned schedule on Monday, proposing a scrapping of Wednesday's running in favour of testing on either Friday or the💖 following Monday instead.

Unanimous agreement was required fro🐻m the tea𒁃ms to change the schedule, but was not achieved.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Heavy snow early on Wednesday saw the session stay under a red flag for the first three hours of the day as❀ th🧸e medical helicopter could not take off.

While the track went green at midday, just two installatio๊n laps have been completed at the time of writing, and with no firm plans for any meaningful running to take place through the remainder of the day, the teams have effectively lost one-eighth of their pre-season test running.

, Boullier slammed the two teams that blocked the possible date change,﷽ saying that they acted only in self-interest by doing so.

"To change testing dates, we would have required unanimity, so that means all the teams would have needed to be in agreement to change the date. It appears that two tea𒅌ms did not want to change the date yesterday," Boullier said.

"It's obviously wasted money. ☂We decided to save costs. We need these eight days to offer a decent show on-track for race one, covering reliability issues and everything we need ꦏto cover.

"We spent the money to be here. The track is booked for two weeks🍰 anyway, so we had the possibility to move that day to another one later. We know the forecast is better on ജSunday or Monday.

"That's purely wasted money on selfis😼h interests."
