Ferrari pulls out of Portugal test

Ferrari has pulled out of this week's major test session at the Portimao circuit in Portugal amid concerns over poor weather conditions forecast for the area. Rain showers have been forecast as likely to disrupt two of the planned days of running at the circuit.

Instead Ferrari will test its new F60 at its own Mugello circuit in Italy, where the team gave the car its launch and shakedown this week. 

Ferrari has been keen to ensure it gets the most mileage in pre-season testing, as in-season testing is now banned.
