Carlos Sainz and Sebastian Vettel are among the drivers who have been blocked from testing for their new teams at an event which follows the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The "young driver" test take places on Tuesday, Dec. 15 and is usually reserved for drivers who have no more than two grand prix appearances unless an exception is made. Renault was given an exception by the FIA for 39-year-old Fernando Alonso ahead of the two-time world champion's return next year.
Alonso has not raced in F1 since leaving at the end of the 2018 season and Renault argued his appearance was necessary to help him get up to speed.
