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.

Follow @GPFansGlobal on Instagram for behind-the-scenes access from across the testing fortnight.

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

HOW CAN I WATCH FORMULA 1 PRE-SEASON TESTING IN USA AND MORE?

Fans based in one of the 60+ territories eligible for F1 TV Pro from February 2019 can subscribe to F1's streaming service for access to the second test.

Unfortunately, F1 TV will not air any on-track action either, but an hour-long recap show will be shown at the end of each day.
