They concluded that having the luxury of separate test sessions with a test team as it used to be would have been less effective than being forced to use Fridays as test sessions.

I'm not against the in-season testing ban so much, I can even stomach the ban from the end of the season to the end of the calendar year. I just don't see the reasoning in banning testing during January as well. OK none of the new cars have been launched yet, but wouldn't mind getting to see how Jenson gets on against Lewis in the '09 McLaren or Schuey take to the wheel of a repainted Brawn instead of a GP2 car.
I understand the cost concerns and I'd much rather see testing sacrificed ahead of introducing things like common parts and so on, I guess I'm just bored of waiting for the season to start!

It was Ross who mentioned they had a difficult time trying to finish 2009 as well as they could as well as developing the 2010 car.
If they are behind it will not be as marked as Mclaren or Ferrari were in 2009.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Lotus won't participate in first two tests
http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,189...856715,00.html
Heikki Kovalainen has revealed that Lotus will not only miss the Valencia test, but also the second one Jerez.
The reason? The F1 newcomers don't have enough spare parts to test properly in the first two outings.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has already confirmed his team will not head to the Circuito Ricardo Tormo as the RB6 won't be ready in timeVERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’
