Ferrari, Honda and Toro Rosso expected to testBahrain`s Grand Prix organisers have invited all Formula One teams to the island nation to test at the track next month.
Ahead of the March 12 season opener at the same Sakhir circuit, at least three teams - Honda, Scuderia Toro Rosso and Ferrari - are believed to have accepted the invitation, while others, like Renault and Toyota, reportedly feel that an overseas test is both too expensive and disruptive.
According to speculation, the idea was apparently jointly devised by Bernie Ecclestone, who argued to the teams that winter testing in the Gulf makes sense because of the warmer weather.
Ferrari tested alone in Bahrain for three days in November last year, while every other team adhered to a voluntary test ban for most of the month.
