I'm a bit surprised by the Lotus Lineup. I thought they would have Kimi be in the car on Day #1. So the schedule would look like Raikkonen, Gro, Gro, RAI or RAI, RAI, Gro, Gro
I think it´s better to test the last two days than at the first two! =) I mean of course then Kimi would have done the first run with the new car but IMO it isnt important at all.
YiNing and Olgi! Are you going to the tests? " title="run" /> Hope you wont be there at the "wrong" days! " title="nono" /> " title="oi" />
It is better to test the new car on the last two days. On the first two days there is a lot of small operational things to sort out, and they usually do a lot of checks. On the last two days you can get started on setup. Most of the first drivers usually test the car on the second two days.
I guess this confirm the RB and Mcaren test schedule
