The Mugello test schedule
From Tuesday to Thursday, the majority of Formula 1 teams will be present at the Mugello circuit in Italy for private testing. Here is the schedule for these three days of testing.
The FIA has scheduled 15 days of testing this new F1 season, 12 days before the start of the season which took place in Spain, in Jerez and then in Barcelona, and another session, lasting three days, during the season on the Mugello circuit.
These last days of testing will take place from May 1st to 3rd, and here are the drivers who will be fielded by the 11 teams present on the Italian circuit – HRT having decided not to travel to Italy.
These in-season tests are an opportunity for some teams to let their reserve or test drivers run – this is notably the case for Lotus with Jérôme d’Ambrosio, Sahara Force India with Jules Bianchi, Williams with Valtteri Bottas, or even Caterham with Rodolfo Gonzalez.
Motorsinside.com will once again offer you the opportunity to follow these tests, live text and in full, commented by our writers.
