Engines and other parts limited for the season

So in testing, do the limited ICE and gearboxes become "Test" ones, or are they part of the 5? I assume its not the latter, but can't find much info on it.

Lotus on Team Orders

Just read the article on Boullier saying too early for Team Orders.

But..............

Could it be argued that prioritising parts for Kimi's car over Romain was a similar thing to asking drivers to hold station.

This isn't a yes or no for team orders thread there is enough of that!
