Force India have pulled out of the first pre-season test, which starts at Spain's Jerez track on Sunday.
Force India 退出了從星期日開始在西班牙Jerez賽道舉行的第一次季前測試。
The team had said they would be unable to run their 2015 car at the four-day event but have now also cancelled plans to test new parts on last year's car.
Force India 原本說明無法在為期四天的季前測試測試其2015年賽車，現在也取消新零件裝在2014年賽車的測試。
A spokesman said the decision was taken on "efficiency grounds" because of the "limited learning opportunities".
車隊發言人說此決定是基於“效率考量”，因為“學習機會有限”。
He denied financial issues prompted the move and refused to comment on reports the team are late paying suppliers.
他否認此決定是因為財政因素，并拒絕回應車隊拖欠付款的傳言。
"The decision was taken at the end of last week," the spokesman said, adding that the team would be at the second and third tests in Barcelona later next month.
“此決定是在上週末決定的，”發言人說，加上車隊會在下個月的第二及第三次在巴塞羅那的季前測試亮相。
"We were planning to go there but we decided it was better to focus on Barcelona. When we weighed it all up, the best decision was not to go."
“我們原本計劃過去(Jerez)但是我們覺得專注在巴塞羅那更好。當我們考量后，不去(Jerez)是最好的決定。”
Jerez is renowned as a track where it is difficult for teams to learn a great deal about their cars because it has a unique and particularly abrasive asphalt surface.
Jerez是一個令車隊難以從賽車上學習的賽道，因為此賽道有與眾不同的粗糲柏油路面。
With only a 2014 car to use, and the same engine supplier in Mercedes and the same driver line-up of Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez, the prospect of learning a great deal at the test was slim.
（車隊）只有2014年賽車可以使用，同時引擎和車手都和2014年一樣，車隊的學習機會不大。
（以下為上季Lotus，Force India和Sauber對獎金分配不滿的現況。簡要：拿不到錢。）
Force India were one of three smaller teams who complained towards the end of last season that Formula 1's revenue split made it hard for them to survive financially.
They, Lotus and Sauber said the prize money was unfairly and disproportionately weighted towards the more successful teams.
Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley even claimed at one point that there was an agenda on behalf of commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone and the top teams to force the smaller teams out.
Principals of the leading teams denied this.
However, there has been no progress towards giving the small teams more income and F1's main shareholder CVC has, according to sources, told them it is not prepared to make any more funds available.
