Ferrari, Sauber, Haas and Renault have all made it clear they are against Liberty Media moving testing to Bahrain next season. Before agreeing to the deal, they would like to know how much of the extra costs will be covered by Liberty Media.

Earlier in the week, the owners expressed their interest in taking testing away from Europe in the hope of finding better weather. This year's testing was hampered by very cold temperatures.

But of course, a move away from Europe will without doubt increase logistics costs. Liberty said they will cover some costs but didn't state how much.

This report is according to Auto Motor und Sport.
