The final pre-season test, planned to take place in Bahrain, will now be held in Barcelona, the Williams team confirmed.
It will take place between March 8th and 11th, rather than the 3rd to 6th, as was planned for Bahrain.
Following the cancellation of the test and race, Williams released a statement confirming the news.
“It is obviously disappointing for everyone involved in the organisation of the event, but it is clear that to race in Bahrain at this time would be inappropriate given the current circumstances,” said Williams CEO Adam Parr.
“It is always Williams’ intention to contribute positively to the countries we compete in and so we fully support the Crown Prince’s decision to cancel the test and forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix.
“We now look forward to a season debut in Melbourne and returning to Bahrain when it is right to do so.”
