Formula One announced on Friday that two three-day winter tests will be held at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya from Feb. 19-21 and 26-28.

Two in-season tests were also held this year in Bahrain and Barcelona but, with a record 22 races scheduled next year, those have been cancelled.

Formula One said the emphasis would be on teams using Friday free practice at grand prix weekends to test parts.
