Full F1 test begins today in Barcelona

All ten teams will be present this week for the final group test of the 2009 pre-season.

Including Brawn GP and its drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, the entire field has congregated for a four-day session at the Spanish Grand Prix venue Circuit de Catalunya, located about a half hour drive from the Barcelona CBD in the Montmelo suburb.

According to Spanish media, a large crowd is assured due to the confirmed presence of Fernando Alonso, and the outstanding questions that remain about the likely pecking-order for the season that begins in 20 days.
