By Joey Barnes, Editor-in-Chief

The Sauber F1 Team has elected to skip the in-season test at Silverstone next week immediately following the British Grand Prix.

The two day test has seen a number of teams put in development drivers. However, the Swiss team will decided it would be more sensible financial decision to miss it, having also been a no-show at the in-season test in mid-May at Barcelona as well.

Sauber is the only team this season to not score a championship point in Formula 1.
