The Jerez circuit is the location for the circuit debut of most of the 2012 Formula 1 cars. The Ferrari should have run for the first time as usual in Italy but it was snowed in whilst the Mercedes and Marussia will debut at the second test in Barcelona. Finally HRT which has never actually run in pre-season testing with a new car will keep the tradition up by running its 2011 car at Jerez for two days. The cars will run between 0900 and 1700 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Temperatures are expected to range between 4 and 19 degrees centigrade, according to current forecasts

A causa dell'ondata di maltempo accompagnata da temperature polari che in questi giorni si è abbattuta sulla nostra penisola,  siamo costretti ad annullare le date di prove libere auto in programma per sabato 4 e domenica 5 febbraio.  Il calendario di prove in programma presso l'autodromo subirà altre modifiche: le giornate di sabato 11 e domenica 12 febbraio verranno dedicato interamente alle 4 ruote, con due giornate di test dedicate ai team e ai privati con sessioni separate fra auto stradali e da competizione. Le prime prove libere di moto (originariamente previste per domenica 12 febbraio) saranno spostate a domenica 19 febbraio.
