The Formula 1 drivers taking part in Friday's afternoon session at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya had a chance to try out Pirelli's Wet and Intermediate tyre range, thanks to some forward planning from the sport.

With no rain falling over the three-day test, special tankers went around the circuit during the one-hour lunch break to spray copious amounts of water on the tarmac. This was to force the teams to spend time on Pirelli's wet-weather compounds in the afternoon.

Below, RacingNews365.com presents some spectacular photos of the cars splashing their way around the circuit over the course of Friday afternoon, courtesy of our photographer Michael Potts as well as the teams.

Check out the photos below!
