Christian Horner believes while freight costs may be cheaper to Spain than to Bahrain, sitting around in the snow will prove more costly in the end.

This week’s opening test at the Circuit de Catalunya has been hampered by poor weather with just 17 laps covered the entire day on Wednesday as snow and heavy rain kept the drivers off the track.

It has raised questions about why the teams don’t head to Bahrain to test having last done so back in 2014.

The main answer to that is money and the cost involved in getting all the freight, team personnel and spare parts to Bahrain.
