Formula 1 teams arrive in Barcelona, ​​where the Catalunya circuit will be host of first winter test session for this year. This circuit is a popular testing site due to moderate temperatures throughout the year. The design of the same is a challenge for every aspect of the car and tires.

It is known that if a car can be fast in Barcelona, ​​then it can be fast on most of the cicruits from the calendar. This is what all teams will try to establish during the four test days.

Test programs are worked out to fine details, and their 100% implementation will be greatly beneficial for creating a winning car. Of course, a correct understanding of the interaction between the car and the latest generation of the Pirelli tires is crucial, especially now when we have two new compounds, hypersoft and superhard.
