McLaren racing director Eric Boullier has spoken out against the idea of splitting the testing next year.
With fears over getting appropriate data for the new Pirelli tyres, many teams have expressed an interest in testing in a warmer climate, such as in Bahrain. For those teams not interested in testing in warmer climates, a proposal to allow them to test in Spain on the same days has been mooted.

However, Boullier has rejected the idea on cost grounds.
"We want all teams to go together," he told Autosport. "And there is a cost saving, which is why I don't understand why we are talking about splitting the test."
"With more teams at one track the less it will cost those teams," he added. "If we're all together then the cost is split across the 11 teams, but if there are only five, six teams then the cost is again split across those teams, so therefore higher."
"We've a testing agreement in place. Now we just need to find a location where we all need to go."
