Formula 1 pre-season testing is set to remain in Europe for 2019 despite some wishe⛎s to move the running to Bahrain, with various tracks now being considered for next year.

F1 teams were frustrated by the cold conditions in Barcelona through pre-season testing earlier this year, with an entire day bein𓄧g lost in the first week when snow hit the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Concerns about the weather conditions led official♍s to consider moving the test꧙s to Bahrain, which last hosted pre-season running in 2014, despite some unease about the costs involved.

Team managers and sporting directors met with F1 officials on Saturday in Hungary to discuss pre-season plans, but Williams technical chief Paddy Lowe confirmed a move to Bahrai🅷n was no longer under consideration.

"As far as I know, that's not going to happen now. I thi🎃nk during this weekend it's become clear there i♏sn't enough support to do it," Lowe said.

"It's being discussed where exactly to go. There was a meeting today about it in fact, this afternoon. The calendar will just move forward by a week. We'll do the same, four [days] and four [days], but a week🐬 earlier."

Lowe said that officials were now discussing which track to use for pre-seasܫon testing, naming Jerez as an option following the track's resurfacing. The circu🃏it last hosted pre-season running back in 2014 before the two Bahrain tests.

"It'll be in Europe. I think Barcelona is suggested, ꦑJerez is an option, and there 🦋may be other places to be considered. But they will be the two most likely.

"I think there's a reluctance to split [circuits] because then there's a lot of cost moving between. You can imagine moving the whol🉐e circus up the roജad."

Renault technical director Nick Chester warned of t♕he difficulty of getting parts to and from Bahrain, naming Barcelona as his preferred destination for runninඣg next winter.

"As long as you're running at a sensible track, it doesn't matter too much for us. 🎶The only difficulty with Bahrain is that it's a b😼it hard to get parts out there," Chester said.

"If you're pushing everything late, getting your updates the𒈔re, getting your s꧑pares there is a bit more of a hassle. But it's not a massive deal really.

"[Barcelona] is easier and still a good baseline track for us. W𒐪e don't tend to lose much with weather. We can lose a day or two."
