Ross Brawn has revealed that Michael Schumacher will join Nico Rosberg for the first day of pre-season at Valencia next week.
Initial reports claimed that Rosberg would in action alone on Day One at Valencia, which is also the day when Mercedes GP unveil their 2010 challenger, the MGP W01, to the world.
However, a change of plans means the former Williams driver will now share the testing duties with Schumacher when the action gets underway on Monday.
"What we want to try and do is give both drivers a drive on the first day. The first day is about checking the car and inspecting all the pieces - and there will be several strip downs of critical parts," said team boss Brawn.
"So during that period we will swap drivers and we want both drivers to get a run in the car on the first day to give us their impressions.
"Nico will probably do the second day and Michael the third day. But it will be split on the first day."
