Marussia has delayed its scheduled test debut at Jerez this week.

The Russian-owned team which didn't attend the opening test in 2012, also at Jerez, was scheduled to roll-out its car tomorrow morning, the first day of this week's four-day run at the Spanish track.

However, at the eleventh hour it has confirmed via Twitter that its appearance has been delayed due to an unspecified problem.

"The #MR03's testing debut is subject to a delay while we resolve a small but frustrating technical issue," the team revealed.

In a subsequent tweet the team said: "The aim is to solve the issue as quickly as possible and send the car on its way. We're all set up here in Jerez ready & waiting for it."

It's understood that while the team is ready and waiting at Jerez, the car is still back at its Banbury HQ.
