Barcelona and Silverstone will host the in-season tests this year.

Whilst in 2015 it was Barcelona and the Red Bull Ring that hosted the all-important tests, this year Silverstone replaces the Austrian venue.

The two-day tests will take place on the Tuesday and Wednesday following the Grand Prix, which means Barcelona will see action on 17/18 May and Silverstone 12/13 July.

Of the four days of testing, teams must allocate at least two to Young Driver testing.

With an eye on the regulation changes in 2017, there will also be a number of tyre tests though these have yet to be confirmed.

With a two-day wet test scheduled for Paul Ricard later this month (25/26), albeit with 2015 car, the other scheduled tests this year are both at Barcelona, 22-25 February and 1-4 March.
