Ahead of the start of the European F1 season, which gets underway at Imola on April 23, almost all of the teams are on duty at Barcelona this week.
Renault will be looking to build upon the form shown in the first three races, while Ferrari is trying out a variety of new components in an attempt to improve on the relatively poor form shown in the first couple of races. As ever, much of the focus with all the teams will be tyres.
Ferrari, WilliamsF1, Red Bull and Toro Rosso, get the test underway today, with McLaren, Renault, Toyota Honda, BMW and Super Aguri joining in on Wednesday.
All the teams continue testing until Friday, except for Red Bull, which concludes its test on Thursday.
