    Pretty decent start by the Renault engines it seems.

    don't know if mentioned:

    Caterham rollout is delayed

    &#8220;last minute issues bolting it all together&#8221;.
    &#8220;The trials and tribulations of a completely new car have conspired against us today,&#8221; &#8220;but we are on it, working flat out!&#8221;

    Further update:

    "It's nearly noon in Jerez & work continues in our garage, Not surprisingly for a totally new car, we're unearthing new issues every time we take a step forwards, but that's what testing's for! And, even though it's still only day one on track, it's actually day two for the mechanics and day three for the truckies."

    Rain due for near the end of the day with the potential for a wet but drying track tomorrow. Teams need to hurry on out there!

    I'm sorry, why spend all that money to ship the equipment and staff if you cant (or are not even ready) to turn a wheel? At this level it is unprofessional and incompetent, considering this is supposed to be the pinnicle of motorsport.

    11:13 Hamilton hits 270km/h again down the main straight, and he's beginning to more visibly lean on the W05.

    He's purple in S1, but his lap tails off in the middle split and he doesn't improve.

    11:22 He's not worried about the current lack of running (see 0917), but AUTOSPORT technical guru GARY ANDERSON has been taken aback by the sheer number of problems teams have encountered on this first day:

    "I was expecting people to have problems but I am a bit surprised there are quite so many!

    "We still haven't seen Red Bull, McLaren, Williams, Caterham or Marussia - which we already knew was delayed - and Ferrari has only done one lap.

    "It's the complications under the engine cover that is the issue and every time they open the garage doors they find a problem. But at approaching lunchtime on the first day you would expect at least to be doing installation laps. The pressure is building."

    I know most of the teams are still getting used to their cars but I really would have thought there would have been more running then this.

    Amazing that 5 teams still haven't been out on track yet. And of the 5 that have, 3 have caused red flags.
