Preview
Off the back of a dramatic debut at Melbourne’s Albert Park Circuit, the FIA Formula 3 Championship returns to action for in-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Starting on Thursday, the two days of running in Spain will provide the drivers and teams a chance to put their learnings from the opening rounds into practice before they head to Imola for a further 12 hours of track time next week.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Running from 13-14 April, the field will have a total of 12 hours of track time at their disposal across the two days, split into a morning and an afternoon session. Both days of morning running will begin at 09:00 and end at noon. On Thursday, the afternoon session will commence at 14:00 and end at 17:00, whilst on Friday, it will run from 13:00 to 16:00 (GMT +2).
Teams will be testing on Pirelli’s Hard tyres, the same compound that was featured during the first two rounds of the season and which will return for Round 5’s visit to the Spanish venue on June 02-04. Each car will be allocated six sets of tyres for the duration of the test, plus three sets of wet tyres.

WHERE TO FOLLOW
You can follow along with testing on the official FIA F3 website via live timing. End-of-day reports will follow the chequered flag on both days, as well as driver reactions.
