The 2018 Formula 1 season is just around the corner as teams add the finishing touches to the cars they will take to pre-season testing. The two weeks of running vital to teams, who aim to clock in as much mileage in preparation for the opening race of the season.

The eight days of testing will once again take place at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, which will host the Spanish Grand Prix in May.

Just being picky, remove the "th" and it would translate better to English. (22nd, 23rd) We get your point and thank you for the compiled info. I, for one, do mark these things into my calendar and appreciate it.
