Seems that way. Button and Hamilton finished for the day so so have the Beeb. I wonder what they'll do day 4 when there are no Brits testing.
Ted Kravitz has been down at McLaren – who are yet to appear out on track today - and I’m afraid to say that the news isn’t good, folks: “It is a hydraulic and electrical installation problem – in other words, everything won’t fit together. Part of the problem is that to fix it, you have to take everything apart, then identify the problem, repair it and then put everything back together again. And such is the complexity of these cars, that’s more or less a four-hour plumbing job each way. “It’s therefore no surprise that the team are saying it is very unlikely they are going to be testing today. Jenson’s interview slot at 5pm has been cancelled as he is probably not going to have much to say. Hopefully we will hear from him tomorrow.”
Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener 28s AMuS exclusive: Mercedes frist test day is over. No spare front wing at Jerez. Reinforced spare part will be flown in tomorrow a.m. + guess it also tells you how many spare front wings they carry then
Awwww, try again tomorrow Merc!

Well at least they did some laps unlike some teams. Hopefully the front wing issue is not a major one, still looking alright for them thus far and Ferrari
Embarrassing. Over half a billion pounds and almost 1000 employees between them and they can't even get a car out on track. If they'd done an installation lap and discovered something then fair enough, but to not even get the cars fired up is piss poor. Why didn't they check things over properly before this morning?
I know it is early days (very) but if more than 50% of the field finish the first race i will be suprised. May go and see what odds are being given for the number of finishers
Team Boss Claire Williams: "Because of the regulation overhaul, the first test in Jerez is one of the most important pre-season tests that the sport has had in a number of years." Yet 80% of the teams cant even put their cars together - woeful!
