AlphaTauri has become the latest team to confirm its running schedule for the three-day test in Barcelona.

The AT03 will finally hit the track on Wednesday having been launched only as digital renders last week.

Yuki Tsunoda will begin his second season in F1 as the first driver behind the wheel of the team's new machinery with a full day of running on day one, with team-mate Pierre Gasly taking over on Thursday.

The final day before heading to Bahrain for the second test will be split between the two drivers, with Gasly looking after the morning programme.

The weather forecast shows a chance of rain on Friday as it stands but teams should enjoy largely dry running as they try and get to grips with the new cars introduced with F1's new regulations.

our line-up for Barcelona pre-season testing is in! 👊
