The two-day event will take place at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with three teams taking part.

The running will focus on the development of the full-wet Pirelli tyre, with several different prototypes set to be tried out.

F1's sole tyre supplier will control the programmes of the three F1 outfits running in France and using 2016-spec cars is not allowed.

Red Bull has confirmed its driver schedule for the test to this writer, with the Milton Keynes-based outfit running Daniel Ricciardo on Monday and Daniil Kvyat on Tuesday.

Meanwhile McLaren has also finalised its line-up, with reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne at the wheel of the team's car on both days.
Ferrari is the third and final team taking part in the test but the Maranello-based squad has yet to announce its driver plans.
