F1 testing 2018: What TV channel is it on, can I live stream it, which drivers are participating, and where is it held?
As another Formula One season is on the horizon, here is your guide to pre-season testing as the class of 2018 take to the track for the first time in Barcelona
BARELY 92 days after the chequered flag fell on the season-finale in Abu Dhabi, Formula One is back with pre-season testing ahead - and is looking a little different to previous years.
While the driver market hasn't been shaken up too much from last year, the look of the cars has certainly got everyone talking as F1 prepares to unleash the first closed-cockpit F1 cars of all-time.
Here is your own guide to pre-season testing and the 2018 season.
Where is pre-season testing held?
SINCE 2016, F1 has shortened pre-season to two four-day tests on consecutive weeks, down from three tests at two separate circuits.
The test gives the team's a chance to run their new machinery for the first time, working on every area of the car to understand its strengths and weaknesses and, thereafter, make adjustments before the first race in Australia in March.
Generally, pre-season is held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix since 1991.
