Finally Winter testing begins today at Jerez, with the first of four testing sessions. HRT and Mercedes are using their 2011 cars, while Marussia are not at the test. All of the other nine teams are using their 2012 cars, which I have brought you news of the launches this week. The test is a four day session from Tuesday 7th to Friday 10th, with testing from 8am until 4pm each day.
Williams are launching their car today, while Caterham and Force India will be using their reserve drivers at some point over the four day test. Giedo Van Der Garde will test the Caterham CT01 on Thursday, while Jules Bianchi will share Force India roles
