F1: Heavy rain forces Toro Rosso to cancel test

Poor weather conditions in Italy severely restricted Max Verstappen's running in the Toro Rosso Formula 1 car, and forced the team to postpone Marco Wittmann's prize test.

At Imola, Verstappen was supposed to do long runs to prepare him with the challenge of running the full distance of a Grand Prix next year.

However, heavy rain prevented any meaningful running and, after just three exploratory laps with the two-year-old, Ferrari V8-powered STR7, the test was cancelled.

New DTM champion, Marco Wittmann was supposed to drive the Toro Rosso as a reward for his title.

But again, rain prevented the German to leave the garage. The test was therefore postponed to a later date.
