With most of the launches done and dusted, F1 test action begins next week at Barcelona with all the 10 teams together for the first time in 2019.
This week was all about the teams launching their 2019 machinery and the coming week will see the cars in flesh for the first time together since the Pirelli tyre test at Yas Marina circuit at the end of November after Abu Dhabi GP.
While we have seen teams like Mercedes, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso, Alfa Romeo Racing and Rich Energy Haas have their shakedown, the rest like Ferrari, Renault, Racing Point, Williams and McLaren have only released images online thus far.
