Formula 1 teams are edging closer an agreement that will allow testing to return to Silverstone this year.

As AUTOSPORT revealed last month, teams have been considering switching the annual young driver test from its late-season Abu Dhabi slot to just after the British Grand Prix, because of concerns about the workload at the end of the season.

Further discussions took place over the Chinese GP weekend to try and find agreement on which venue would be preferred, but no consensus was reached.

Teams have therefore agreed that they will have the option of running at either Silverstone in July or at the Yas Marina circuit after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November.

Bit of a shame now I've booked to go to the GP on Friday for the very reason that the testing is no longer there! But if it does come back, it would be a nice cheap way of seeing some F1 machinery, albeit without the main drivers.
 
Of course the solution would be to have the main test there again :D At least we have Mugello test after Bahrain this weekend, to shorten the break :)
