After the livery launches, social media hype teasing, and a car launch that featured no car, the F1 pre-season has kicked into top gear with the conclusion of 2020 F1 Winter Testing Week 1.
It is a shame in this new cost saving F1 landscape that there is just a fraction of the testing from a decade and more ago. Cigarette sponsorship ironically giving F1 more oxygen to breathe. Unlimited testing for two months wouldn’t even be enough for this F1 nerd, but we have make do with what was on offer from the 2020 F1 Winter Testing Week 1.
The first Winter Testing session of the year is always a cagey affair, with teams low on detail and high on secrecy.
Are there teams sandbagging? Are there new gadgets to showcase or hide? Will there be a change in the hierarchy in 2020, or will teams write off the season ahead of the big changes for 2021.
There are many excellent sources of who did what in the 2020 F1 Winter Testing Week 1, but as ever this website substitutes quality in depth coverage with a fun activity.
We have come up with a manufactured statement on behalf of the teams, and it is up to you to match them together.
So why not fill those precious few minutes on public transport with our 2020 F1 Winter Testing Week 1 Guess the Team Quiz.
