After a five week break since the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, the world champion Renault F1 Team will be back on track next week in Barcelona, for the first of three test sessions before Christmas.

These sessions will have two primary objectives: accumulating reliability mileage on components destined for the 2007 car, but first and foremost learning the characteristics of the Bridgestone tyres that the team will be using throughout next season.

The team's current testing plans are as follows:

28/11 – 30/11, BARCELONA:
Heikki Kovalainen and Nelson Piquet Jr.

06/12 – 08/12, JEREZ:
Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen

13/12 – 15/12, JEREZ:
Giancarlo Fisichella and Heikki Kovalainen
