The final test of the season is almost upon us; and it is the actual final test of the season as there will be no mid-season testing this year due it being banned once again.

First Test
5 Feb Circuito de Jerez
6 Feb Circuito de Jerez
7 Feb Circuito de Jerez
8 Feb Circuito de Jerez

Second Test
19 Feb Circuit de Catalunya
20 Feb Circuit de Catalunya
21 Feb Circuit de Catalunya
22 Feb Circuit de Catalunya

Third Test
28 Feb Circuit de Catalunya
1 Mar Circuit de Catalunya
2 Mar Circuit de Catalunya
3 Mar Circuit de Catalunya

Sadly the testing so far hasn't been that useful.
The first test was plagued with problems with the track surface, making it difficult to get any meaningful feedback on the tyres. There was also the problem of the usual mechanical gremlins.

The teams for the most part ironed out their issues at the second test, but the temperatures were far lower than is usual and much lower than most (all) of the races will be. So again, it's difficult to determine exactly who is where, although the general running order is presumed to be similar to how the season ended.

Hopefully by the end of next week, we'll have a better idea of how the teams are relative to each other.
With temperatures expected to reach a balmy 13C from Friday (http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Racing/Spain/Catalunya-Circuit.aspx?sday=5), it may be a slightly more interesting test.

For the first time ever, the third test will be fully televised, so for those of you with Sky, you will get an early preview of the cars as they will more or less appear in three weeks at Melbourne, although no doubt final upgrade packages will be applied before then.

Sky's take on the second test: http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/news/22058/8516398/What-we-learnt-from-Barcelona
 
Has anyone seen what format the coverage on Sky will take?

Is it just going to be the TV cameras there showing a live stream, or will there be interviews with various people/part commentry team.

Be good to have a least some parts with a commentry team - they could take questions from joe public e-mailing/texting in. Could even have a few drivers or team personel joining in.
 
Sadly it looks like the teams (and fans) won't learn anything today and tomorrow due to rain and cold.
The first race in two weeks time could be a big unknown due to the lack of decent running in testing.
 
That's several years now, they've all trooped off to Spain for the weather and it's been raining. I wonder if the powers that be will consider warming, more reliable venues for next year. Surely a final test at Abu Dhabi would make more sense (they can't use the political hot spud that is Bahrain too often), at least the cars would be half way to Australia by then.
 
I'm not sure you'll be missing a lot, they're currently lapping in the high 1:40's due to the weather.

What a disappointment testing has been this year.
 
This is one of the biggest problems with limiting testing to a certain time and location. What happens as has been the case this year, when no meaningful, or at least hardly any meaningful, testing can be achieved? Surely this is as big a waste of money as was un-restricted testing.

With homogolation and development restrictions in place, we could very well see at team find they have a huge issue with the car that can not be resolved with out the usual "blind eye" flex in the rules. Remember that "catch up" development period that was alowed for engines during the season a few years ago.

I wonder what would happen if it was one of the bigger teams (especially a well known Italian one) who find themselves way behind the curve due to an undiscovered car issue that could have been resolved in a proper testing run.

Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton did race simulations Starting on intermediates about 25 minutes apart.
Felipe's starts from lap 44 and Lewis from lap 47.
 
On lap 90 Lewis span but didn't pit until lap 102 when Felipe brought out the red flags when he very probably ran out of fuel.
 
Just saw an interesting Tweet: https://twitter.com/Khan_F1/status/307173429168193536

Apparently Red Bull are using nose cameras and red dots to check the front wing flexion and torsion.
