The Sauber Formula 1 team has confirmed it will not take part in the post-British Grand Prix test at Silverstone.
The two-day event takes place from the 12-13 July, the Tuesday and Wednesday after the British GP – round 10 of the 2016 season.
The Swiss outfit said it plans to introduce its new aerodynamic package at a later date and felt completing the test would not be cost effective.
Sauber has struggled financially in recent years and had trouble with delayed payments to its staff at the beginning of the season.
The team also skipped the opening in-season test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after May’s Spanish Grand Prix.
