Sauber said on Twitter that, since an aerodynamic update was
planned for a later stage, they had decided to cancel their
involvement in the test "considering cost effectiveness".
A two-day test starting on Tuesday is scheduled for the
Silverstone circuit after Sunday's race.
Sauber, the only team yet to score a point this season, have
suffered financial difficulties and also skipped the previous
in-season test in Barcelona in May because of a lack of updates
and a suitable test driver.
They have not made any significant upgrades to their car since
the start of the season in March but sounded more optimistic in
Austria last weekend, when team manager Beat Zehnder said June
salaries had at least been paid on time.
"Paying the salaries, the outstanding salaries, is part of a
comprehensive solution we were still working on," he said then.
"Obviously, there is a change in atmosphere because now everyone
believes again that there is a future."
