Jerez test driver line-ups

The first pre-season test of 2015 gets underway at Jerez tomorrow, with eight teams present in southern Spain.

Toro Rosso will launch its car on Saturday evening ahead of the first day of track running, with Mercedes also rolling out the W06 for an official unveiling despite releasing pictures earlier in the week.

Force India is not launching its new car until later in February, saying it is “90% certain” it will run at the second test in Barcelona. Having originally opted to run its 2014 car at Jerez the team is now skipping the first test, and with Caterham and Marussia in administration that leaves eight teams to take to the track on Sunday.

The full driver line-ups for each of the four days is as follows:

 Team Sunday  Monday  Tuesday  Wednesday
 Mercedes  N. Rosberg  L. Hamilton  N. Rosberg  L. Hamilton
 Red Bull  D. Ricciardo  D. Kvyat  D. Ricciardo  D. Kvyat
