The FIA has ruled that teams will be allowed to carry out three one-day young driver training tests between the end of the last race of the championship and December 31. Drivers will only be eligible only if they have not competed in more than two F1 World Championship events in the preceding 24 months or tested a Formula 1 car on more than four days in the same 24 month period.

Teams will be allowed to conduct eight one day aerodynamic tests carried out on FIA approved straight line or constant radius sites between now and the end of the World Championship.
