On paper, Mercedes completes the most mileage in pre-season testing however, with the German team having used its 2011 car in Jerez this leaves Williams as F1's pre-season workaholics.
In total, Mercedes completed 3372.8 miles over the course of the three tests however, when you take into account the fact that the F1 WO3 didn't appear until Barcelona, in total the new car completed just 2415.2 miles.
Similarly, while Nico Rosberg completed the most miles (1861.4) in total, when you only count his running in the 2012 car this drops to 1382.6, leaving Lewis Hamilton as the busiest driver (1657.2) ahead of Felipe Massa (1648.8) and Kamui Kobayashi (1634.6). Similarly, Michael Schumacher's total mileage drops from 1511.4 miles to 1032.6.
