i think testing will be in adu dhabi this week and i wouldn't be suprised if they race there too.
It's a short boat / plane ride away but in the most stable country in the area.
Seriously doubt it will be in Abu Dhabi. The race will 100% not be there. The circuit wont be ready in time, and its too big a job to switch a grandprix to a different venue. If it gets cancelled then its going to be a bit longer to wait for the first grand prix. Its also highly doubtfull that it would return there later in the year either because of the hectic race calendar. As for testing. The teams want to stay in spain, and all the motions have been started to stay in spain for the last session.
Enough of the boring stuff anyway...lets talk on-track action.....
The mclaren seems to be a second off the pace on comparable runs to the redbull/fez
Although they have hardly done any running because of parts shortages/things not working etc. Still unclear what exhaust system they are actually using. The release pics showed a standard exhaust exiting at the back, yet at its first test it turned up with a completley different system that no one could work out where they exitied. Apparently there are still a few bits they need to implement...but its not looking good so far...they are miles behind on the other teams.
Ferrari look quick, consistant and quite reliable. They seem to be the only team that has come out and shown us what they have got.
Red Bull still seem to be the quickest. Testing much the same as last year, nothing spectacular and keeping things very much underwraps...although the signs are there that this is a mighty car...eg vettel coming out on his first and only flying lap and setting the quickest time by over a second.
Merc...Well and truely an establishd midfield team now. The car is a dog. Un-reliable, inconsistant, and seems to be very slow.
All purely speculation mind as its only testing
