The 2018 Formula 1 season is inching closer, but before the season officially kicks off in Australia next month, all teams will take part in eight days of testing. The test will be held at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, which will host the Spanish Grand Prix later this year.
The tests allow the teams to view the data from the cars and get an understanding of them after a long winter. Teams will be pushing to clock in as many miles as possible, to allow them to gather the most amount of information heading into the new season.
The paddock has been built up as teams prepare for the crucial tests. Sauber and Haas have already used the track for their filming day, while it is expected that Ferrari will take to the circuit on Sunday.
It is also likely that Renault will complete its filming day on Saturday, with the necessary recording equipment arriving on Friday. For the rest of the teams, they must until the morning of February 36 to fire up the engines and roll out of the pitlane.
Take a look at our first photos from the Barcelona paddock below.

It's rather striking how much the Ferrari suite look so like it's constructed of rather basic models of London double-decker buses! Stylish!?
