Who is driving when during Barcelona’s F1 pre-season test?

Formula 1 is back as pre-season testing in Barcelona gets underway with three days of running at the Spanish venue.

Barcelona hosts the first of two tests with the second taking place in Bahrain. 

Teams will have six days in total to prepare for the 23-race season with entirely new cars for this season.

With completely new technical regulations, impacting the aerodynamics and tyres, it’s a complete unknown as to who will be on top at the first race next month.

Ahead of the test, all 10 teams have completed an initial shakedown - 100km of running on show tyres - to shake off any cobwebs before the more meaningful testing.

The test will not be televised, however, Crash.net will be present in Barcelona reporting on all the action and goings-on. 

With six days in total, each driver will have a maximum of three days in the car before the first race.

Teams will divide the schedules up into morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) sessions, or even in some cases, give one driver the entire day.

In the case of Alfa Romeo, test and reserve driver Robert Kubica will be in action for the team on the first day before handing over to Valtteri Bottas.

Below is a full rundown of the confirmed driver line-ups for the pre-season test. This will be updated.
