The final pre-season tests are over, the ten teams having run at eight different circuits since the turn of the year.
Up until now, the teams were free to do pretty much what they wished, however, after Melbourne nine of them are restricting themselves to just thirty days until the season ends in October. Ferrari, of course, opting not to go along with the proposal put forward in Brazil.
