With constant heavy downpour, the Brit was the sole driver to set a time during the morning session while by the end of Saturday's play, only two others names had been added to the timesheets.It was a disappointing end to the final day of pre-season testing, which McLaren focus on a handful of lower-speed runs to evaluate engine maps.
However, it did give the teams an opportunity to see how their new Pirelli tyres handle in extreme wet conditions.
"We tested a couple of things during some shorter runs, but it was very dangerous out there: very slippery and lots of aquaplaning. This definitely isn't normal Spanish weather!" said Hamilton.
"We learnt a bit about the Pirelli intermediates and extremes, but there was so much aquaplaning that it was a bit too risky to do longer runs.
"As for the World Championship, I'm excited - we've got a long season ahead of us. We've got a lot of work to do, but we have more updates coming for Melbourne.
"The Championship is open, and we don't know what to expect. Our whole team will be pushing very, very hard."
