FORMULA 1 2020 PRE-SEASON TESTING
Once the grid has been unveiled, we will see the teams take to the track for the first time at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. This year however the teams will only be allowed six days of pre-season testing, reduced from the eight days that they have become accustomed to.
Williams will be hoping that their year gets off to a better start than it did in 2019, when the Grove-based outfit couldn’t build the car in time for the start of testing. A full test schedule will be crucial with two young drivers, especially with Nicholas Latifi making his full-time Formula 1 debut in 2020.
