The cold, long winter is ending, and it is almost time to hear the sound of Formula 1 cars again!
As usual, Sky Sports F1 are covering both Barcelona tests. The first test features a 15-minute round-up show fronted by Craig Slater at the start of the hour. Rachel Brookes is recovering from her knee surgery at the end of 2017, so expect her not to return until Australia. After the round-up, Ted Kravitz is back with his Notebook on each of the four days.
So far, that is what we know, and can confirm. Whether any additional live elements come to fruition, as mooted during Sky’s coverage of the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, remains to be seen. The closer we get, the more unlikely it appears that F1’s new over-the-top service will launch in time for testing, so the best bet is for live streaming via YouTube or elsewhere, alongside live action on Sky, if FOM decide to head down that avenue.

So despite all the waffle from Crofty and Brundle at the last race, it’s the same lame Sky coverage that they always produce.
