Already two days of testing have taken place in Jerez, with mixed fortunes. Indeed, Mercedes encountered two issues during these two days, thus limiting its track time. For the rest of the teams, no major problems to report.<\/p>\n
After Jenson Button on Monday, yesterday it was Romain Grosjean who set the fastest time at the wheel of his Lotus.<\/p>\n
Today, there are some changes for the drivers on track: Felipe Massa continues with Ferrari, at Red Bull, it will be Vettel’s debut at the wheel of the RB9, at McLaren, Jenson Button will take the wheel, at Mercedes, it will be Rosberg, at Lotus, R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen will test the E21 for the first time, at Williams, Bottas takes over from Maldonado, at Toro Rosso, Jean-Eric Vergne will debut in the STR8, at Caterham, Pic takes over from Van der Garde, at Marussia, Chilton will return to the track, at Sauber, it will be Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez’s turn, and at Sahara Force India, James Rossiter will start the day before handing over to Paul di Resta.<\/p>\n
