Current champion Sebastian Vettel has named his RB8, following last seasons car being named Kinky Kylie, he has named this years challenger 'Abbey', after the Beatles famous 'Abbey Road' album.
Ferrari have urged their fans not to worry too much about pre season form. They have said that they expect to be fighting near the front in Australia.
Marussia have given their support to the latest calls from Bernie Ecclestons to have further budget caps in F1. They worry that the world championship is becoming more about who has the most money.
Lotus have entered into an sponsorship and partnership agreement with software giant, Microsoft Dynamics. Both parties hope that the three year deal will enable a close working relationship. Making Lotus more KPI focused.
McLaren have said that there won't be any team running away with the championship this season. After the domination of Red Bull in 2011, most fans are hoping for a closer battle this time around. McLaren have said that they are confident with the race pace of their 2012 car.
Teams are expecting a very strange start to the season. With unusual podiums, wins and points finishes. Perhaps not quite in the same way as previous seasons where one or two teams have dominated. Expect a close Australian GP with cars likely to be closely matched. The difference between front and back may not be so large this time.
Ross Brawn believes that this seasons Mercedes can be a race winner. Since their 2009 championship success under the title Brawn GP, they haven't managed a win. Ross Brawn hasn't given any indication of where he believes his car stands after testing, but is confident that they have something to build on this year.
