Formula One pre-season test set to be cancelled
Formula One teams have agreed not to attend the scheduled pre-season test in Bahrain from March 3-6.
The test, as well as the season-opening race at the Bahrain International Circuit, has been thrown into doubt after violent unrest in the country.
The teams were scheduled to meet on Monday in Barcelona - where pre-season testing is currently taking place - to discuss the viability of travelling to Bahrain.
The decision to stay away will throw further doubt on the grand prix proper, which is scheduled for March 11-13.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has hinted last week that a decision on the race itself will be made on Tuesday.
