The next test starts on Friday, and will give us the biggest indication of the pecking order. This is a perfect track for testing and it's likely that we will see full race simulations and possibly qualifying simulations as well. James Allen said: "The feeling persists though that when the time comes for Red Bull to see what the thing will do over a single lap on a low fuel run, it will lead to a collective intake of breath in the F1 paddock." There have been bumps added to the track. I don't know where exactly, from what I see in the video, it looks like corner just before turn 9 - the corner that everyone cuts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlo3y-to5TA The current line up for Barcelona: Red Bull Friday 18th - Sebastian Vettel Saturday 19th - Sebastian Vettel Sunday 20th - Mark Webber Monday 21st - Mark Webber McLaren: Friday 18th - Jenson Button Saturday 19th - Jenson Button Sunday 20th - Lewis Hamilton Monday 21st - Lewis Hamilton Ferrari: Friday 18th - Fernando Alonso Saturday 19th - Fernando Alonso Sunday 20th - Felipe Massa Monday 21st - Felipe Massa Williams: Friday 18th - Maldonado (AM), Barrichello (PM) Saturday 19th - Rubens Barrichello Sunday 20th - Maldonado (AM), Barrichello (PM) Monday 21st - Pastor Maldonado Sauber: Friday 18th - Kamui Kobayashi Saturday 19th - Kamui Kobayashi Sunday 20th - Sergio Perez Monday 21st - Sergio Perez Torro Rosso: Friday 18th - Jaime Alguersuari Saturday 19th - Jaime Alguersuari Sunday 20th - Ricciardo/Buemi Monday 21st - Buemi Mercedes, Renault, Force India, Team Lotus, HRT, Virgin are all yet to confirm
