Back to base

On Wednesday night, the Jerez paddock was a hive of activity as the teams started packing up to take their 2015 cars and equipment back to base. The work never stops at this time of year, with the next pre-season test set to take place in less than two weeks at the Circuit de Catalunya. There's a lot to be done before the season even starts, but the F1 teams will work tirelessly to improve.
