Yes the Merc team runs as expected like their drivers' Swiss clockwork. Red Bull announced their launch to be later in February quoting they preferred more time with computional design/in windtunnel. So for good or bad, they will miss first test option... Lotus confirmed launch on 12 February, so likewise missing first test option also. Lotus do though so far seem most 'on it' of the 4 new teams. They have confirmed two experienced drivers and they have confirmed a launch date which means they must have an almost complete car. |

Surprising so many teams are missing the first test with so few overall test days. |

Besides which, the teams all still have the same testing mileage so it could be the case that teams who miss the first test do more running in subsequent ones. |
