This is it, the new era of Formula 1 is thrown ! After the revelations of the different single-seaters in recent days, it is time for the teams to launch them on the track during the Barcelona tests.

This first round of testing will take place over three days starting this Wednesday during which the teams will alternate their drivers aboard their single-seaters.

French full-time, first for Zhou

After rolling the world champion Max Verstappen all day Thursday, Red Bull sends Sergio Pérez onto the track this Friday. The French Pierre Gasly et Esteban Ocon will also have a full day on the Catalan circuit for respectively Alpha Tauri et Alpine. This will also be the case for Daniel Ricciardo for McLaren. These four men will therefore be riding for the first time this week.

It will also be the great first for Guanyu-Zhou at the wheel of theAlfa Romeo. The Chinese driver will ride in the afternoon, Valtteri Bottas being in charge of the C42 whose livery for the season has still not been revealed. It will be on February 27, after the Barcelona tests. In the other teams, it will be the same duos as yesterday who will be at the wheel, in reverse order from the previous day. As a reminder, the first day was marked by the best time of Lando Norris for McLaren.
