Sky is covering the winter testing in Barcelona on Feb 18-21 and Feb 26-March 1. Dunno if we will see that on ESPN or one of its variant cable/internet channels.
First race in Australia on March 17 and in Bahrain on March 31.

Apparently Jenson Button is being added to the commentary line-up - don't know if it is in place of Martin Brundle or in addition to Brundle or if he will be one of the roving pre-start grid reporters. Which is a feature I loathe - "let us see whom we can bother whilst they are trying to finish suiting up and getting in the car".
I liked Brundle and came to really like Paul Di Resta, once I could easily understand him (which, actually, when I got a soundbar for the TV that allowed moving the center channel up, became much better). I don't like David Croft ("Crofty") any more than my first impression of him.

Vettel and Ferrari were tops on Day 1 of testing, Day 2 was Kyvat (Toro Rosso), Raikonnen (Alfa Romeo), Riccardo (Renault), Vettel (Ferrari). Hamilton and Bottas were way down the list, but the Mercedes is running well and all the talking heads guess that they are running full fuel tests. Williams finally got a car out of the garage late in the afternoon and it made 20 or so laps and then retired. Pirelli is calling their tires C1-C5 (C5 being softest) and the top cars were on the softest tires and the Mercedes were running C2 and C3.
So I think everyone actually finished a few laps at this point, which is ahead of where we were last year, I think.

Only three weeks from this coming Sunday 'til the real first test of the year in Australia, I'm hoping HAAS can compete for fourth in the Constructor's title race this year. I hope it's a really good season this year, I'm not all that optimistic Liberty Media's taking the series in the right direction.
