The date of the final test in Barcelona has been tweaked from March 8-11 to March 9-12.

The test, which was moved from Bahrain due to unrest in the country, will now run over a Saturday after Formula One teams agreed to the date change

Mercedes team principal Ross Brawn confirmed the change: "We will be returning to the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona for a final four-day test starting on Wednesday 9 March and concluding on Saturday 12 March. Nico is scheduled to drive the MGP W02 on the Wednesday and Saturday, with Michael driving on the Thursday and Friday."

The first race of the season will take place in Australia two weeks later on March 27.
