Well, now we reach Jerez in what should prove to be an exciting four days.
Robert Kubica is out of intensive care and seemingly on the road to recovery, though he still has to undergo some more operations. Fighting for the chance to fill his shoes for Renault, the team have elected to run Bruno Senna, Tonio Luizzi and Nick Heidfeld over the next few days.
Who will get the drive?
Well, Renault are seeking a driver who will develop the car so from that point of view, Heidfeld is the perfect choice. Senna, has but one year under his belt yet it must be remembered that last year's HRT was a dog of a car and so he also needs to prove his worth. Luizzi, while full with contemporary F1 experience, he was deemed not good enough to keep a seat with Force India so a suitable replacement for Kubica? Probably not...
The new McLaren looks to be decent enough after this morning's track time in Jerez with Lewis Hamilton setting competitive times but Mercedes haven' been that impressive - and that will be a concern for the German marque.
