Force India have pulled out of the first pre-season test, which starts at Spain's Jerez track on Sunday.
Force India 退出了从星期日开始在西班牙Jerez赛道举行的第一次季前测试。
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 原本说明无法在为期四天的季前测试测试其2015年赛车，现在也取消新零件装在2014年赛车的测试。
A spokesman said the decision was taken on "efficiency grounds" because of the "limited learning opportunities".
车队发言人说此决定是基于“效率考量”，因为“学习机会有限”。
He denied financial issues prompted the move and refused to comment on reports the team are late paying suppliers.
他否认此决定是因为财政因素，并拒绝回应车队拖欠付款的传言。
"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.
“此决定是在上周末决定的，”发言人说，加上车队会在下个月的第二及第三次在巴塞罗那的季前测试亮相。
"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."
“我们原本计划过去(Jerez)但是我们觉得专注在巴塞罗那更好。当我们考量后，不去(Jerez)是最好的决定。”
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是一个令车队难以从赛车上学习的赛道，因为此赛道有与众不同的粗粝柏油路面。
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.
（车队）只有2014年赛车可以使用，同时引擎和车手都和2014年一样，车队的学习机会不大。

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.
