The FIA has clarified the regulations regarding testing that has forced Ferrari and RedBull Racing to rethink their plans for the upcoming final preseason test in Barcelona at the end of this week. Ferrari and RedBull had asked permission to start testing on Friday and to stay in Barcelona to continue testing there next Monday.
The FIA has rejected this request and clarified the rules regarding testing as set down by the 2012 F1 Sporting Regulations which state that no testing can take place the week prior to the first round of the FIA Formula One World Championship. The FIA stated last night that the prior to the first race in Melbourne will start on Monday 5th March which is next week.
This means that NO testing of any sort can take place during that week, so team's cannot conduct straight-line aero tests.
