Pre-season tests

This year's Formula 1 2020 winter tests will be held in Barcelona on February 19-21 and 26-28. This time the tests will be held under new rules: the FIA has approved changes designed to make test session more “open” and interesting for spectators and fans.

The rules are that Formula 1 teams will no longer be able to hide their new cars. Previously, special screens, as well as equipment and spare parts of machines were actively used for this purpose. Now no screens, coverings, or obstacles that hide parts of cars can be used at any time in the paddock, in garages, on the pit lane, or on the starting grid, except for a requirement for mechanical reasons.

So that after presentations and tests, fans do not have to get bored, waiting for the start of the season, everyone's favorite series Drive to Survive will be released on February 28. According to information of several sources, in the second season all teams took part in the filming of the series, including Ferrari and Mercedes, who refused to participate last year.
