Renault to start winter tests in Valencia.

The Mild Seven Renault F1 Team will be kicking off its winter test programme with Jarno Trulli at the Spanish circuit of Valencia.

The Italian driver, going into his second season with the French squad will be driving for the four-day session, from the 26th through the 29th November.

For the first three days the team will be taking advantage of the fine Spanish weather, but the fourth and final day will be dedicated to a wet tyre test for Michelin.

The team will be running a hybrid car, with the new mechanical package of the R23, including engine and gearbox, and the aerodynamic package of last season's R202.

The Mild Seven Renault F1 Team will be running this hybrid car during the winter tests until the official launch of the new R23.
