mercedes have confirmed that they will not be at the 2012 seasons first test at jerez , but will start at the first barcelona test

RB, McLaren and Ferrari have confirmed for jerez , and most other teams are expected there

Webber will be the RB driver for the first 2 days , Vettel the following two

last year's entry fee was €10 / day

not at jerez , at all other tests with new car

spanish sources say that massa will be first on track for ferrari at jerez

Number 2 driver taking the first days makes more sense, they'll get hit with early reliability problems and tedious shake down laps as the mechanics try to get the car working properly.

Then the number 1 driver can do more laps with greater intensity in a car that has been shaken down.

Red Bull is also reporting Webber drives first. Now to see who drives first in Findia and STR

I think Ferrari just alternate. Last year Alonso got to run on the first day. In 2010 it was Massa.

I see kimi is going to test a 2010 car at valencia on the 23/24th

am currently sitting on the beach in the sun beside my motorhome about an hour south of valencia ...wonder if there is any possibility of admittance for the public
worth a try maybe ?
