As the second day of running gets underway in Jerez, Marussia is racing against time to simply get its new car to the circuit to take part in the first pre-season test.
The team had hoped to be in Spain to begin testing yesterday (Tuesday), but instead released a short statement claiming that a "small but frustrating technical glitch with the MR03 during sign-off", meant it only left the Banbury factory that morning.
With the car en route, and expected to arrive at the circuit this afternoon, the team faces a heavy workload tonight in order to unveil the MR03 to the media ahead of the on-track action.
The Russian owned team is already anticipating great interest in its variation on the theme that has everyone talking this week indeed, it is currently using the hashtag #whonose.
