Pretty sure it was 30 minutes last year, to close 15 minutes before the race - realistically you can only manage a very few number of laps given that anyway. Most teams can probably spare 1 lap of fuel to give it a proper test - especially as they won't be running flat out and therefore saving fuel that way!
