Teams set out test stall

by JP Lonergan , 05 February 2012

The first pre-season test ahead of the 2012 season will get underway on Tuesday, with team line-ups for Jerez now revealed.


All teams bar the rebranded Marussia outfit will be taking part, while it will be interesting to see how former world champion Kimi Raikkonen fares on his return to the sport with Lotus.

Only Mercedes and HRT will not have their new cars on show, with the latter not having fully confirmed their weekly driving schedule either. Caterham, also, have not confirmed who will be at their wheel on the given days.
