I expect that will be enough for them to not race then in Australia.

The Williams one looked ok to me (see Ted's notebook yesterday), but it maybe the FIA clamping down on it early.

A bit of semi-wet running isn't a bad thing for them really.

And the 16 days (was there really that many?) of 2011 testing:

It was the odd year where they were going to do a test at Bahrain but then did an additional one in Spain again instead (so 4 x 4 days in Spain). Last year they did 16 days but Mugello was during the season, which I expect they'll do again this year.

Luiz Razia was meant to do two days last week for Marussia, but apparently his money is slow coming through. Wonder if he will drive this week.

Good extra mileage for Chilton.
