It’s time for Formula One Pre-Season Testing 2018, but for the first time in a while, I’m not there at present, so I’m following the action via MSportXtra‘s #HappyTesting feed on Twitter. The tweets with that hashtag should appear just below, and the page will refresh every minute so you stay up to date:
There are two testing sessions this year, during the week commencing 26th February and then the week commencing 5th March. Both sessions are being held at the Circuit de Catalunya, near Barcelona in Spain, which has hosted many recent pre-season tests.
As normal, Duurt at MSportXtra has a team of helpers at the circuit who are tweeting updates and photos of all the action as it happens.
Here are a few tweets from the day that you might have missed:
