Pre-season testing is always an exciting time of year as we get to grips with the storylines set to paint the 2019 Formula 1 season to come, and even better this year you can watch the action from the Circuit de Catalunya!

WHEN IS FORMULA 1 PRE-SEASON TESTING?

Pre-season testing will be held over eight days, split into two events at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, in Montmelo, Spain.

The first test will be held from Monday February 18 – Thursday February 21, while the second is slated to run between Tuesday February 26 – Friday March 1.

Parts of the first test were aired live by Sky Sports in the UK.

Unfortunately the second test will not be aired by Sky, denying UK viewers another chance to get close to cars on-track.
