Spain and Austria will play host to the two in-season Formula 1 test sessions this year.
Last year there were four two-day tests. They took place in Bahrain, Spain, Britain and Abu Dhabi.
However this year that has been cut to just two tests. They will take place on the Tuesday and Wednesday following the race itself.
Two test days – including pre-season testing – must be dedicated to running young drivers according to the regulations. It’s likely teams will opt to run young drivers at the in-season tests, rather than pre-season.
Pre-season testing begins on February 1-4 in Jerez before heading to Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya from February 19-22 and February 26-March 1.
