Zero or reduced battery power???

It must be a significant reduction in pace if they are warning other teams

They will test 3 engines, maybe they will test them in different conditions.

Could be just two spares? Or did they say they will use them all?

This information came from where?

You’re telling me that in a day and a half of testing, the team are going to have the opportunity to swap out Multiple engines? Any idea how long that takes?

If they do filming day on Saturday, they can run three engines on three separate days.

They are still not running anyway :(
That leaves them only tomorrow for a full day.

They need to do a shakedown before Barhain test, I hope they will run soon.

Craig Slater speaking on Sky Sports News:

"Red Bull are still hoping to get out tomorrow. That was after Isack Hadjar crashed the car on Tuesday and they're lacking spare parts. All the teams are at the moment.

"Aston Martin also assembling their car and hope that Lance Stroll can be out on track this afternoon. Fernando Alonso would get tomorrow to drive it." #RedBullRacing #AstonMartinF1 #F1Testing #F1

Stroll will be best for shaking it, has a lot of experience on gravel.

I hope they get it ready for some running at least. I really want to see this car.

Unlike other teams, Aston is already at a deficit with their testing days, so if they do get it ready it would make sense for them to just go out, as they don't have the luxury of "picking a better day" to maximize mileage.

Wrong information. They haven't gone out.
Now it's being talked that they will go out today, but not before 16:00
And it will be with Stroll if they do, not Alonso.
