The Force India Formula 1 team will approach the season opening Australian grand prix late in March with only eight days of winter testing under its belt.
"Giancarlo (Fisichella) will do four, and I (will do) the other four," said 26-year-old German driver Adrian Sutil, currently on a training vacation on the Spanish island of Majorca.
The Silverstone based outfit is the only team that has so far sat out the entire post and pre-season period, with the exception of the Barcelona test last November.
Designers and engineers at the Northamptonshire facility have instead been working in the wake of the announcement of the McLaren-Mercedes technical tie-up, with Sutil telling the Mallorca Magazin that he believes the 2009 package is better than its Ferrari-powered predecessor.
"We are working to have the car ready for the end of February," Sutil said. Team boss Vijay Mallya has said the VJM02's track debut will be at Jerez in March.
