The plans for the 2017 testing schedule have been finalised including Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Hungary.
The Hungaroring circuit will be replacing the traditional mid-season test that has often taken place after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
After lengthy discussions among team bosses as to what the plans could be, it was confirmed by the FIA that three tests will go ahead.
There are no restrictions as to what the teams can run on their cars during these tests, but teams will have to field drivers who have had less than three grand prix starts on two of the four days.
The post-season test at Abu Dhabi is for evaluating the tyres ahead of the 2018 season.
The timing of this test will allow Pirelli to trial compounds ahead of an extended deadline to finalise its 2018 tyre specifications.
New regulations published on Monday confirm that Pirelli has now been given until December 1 to finalise the tyre compounds they will use in 2018, with the construction needing to be determined by September 1.
For 2017 development, 25 days has been permitted, as it was in 2016, with at least eight of the current teams having confirmed that they will take part in those tests.
Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes were the only teams to have participated in the 25 days of running last year.
2017 Test schedule:
| Barcelona | Feb 27 – March 2 |
| Barcelona | March 7 – March 10 |
| Bahrain | April 18 – 19 |
| Budapest | August 1 – 2 |
| Abu Dhabi | November 28 – 29 |
