Three Formula One teams have completed the first laps with their new F1 cars for 2020 ahead of Barcelona’s pre-season test on Wednesday.
Williams showed the first studio photos of their new FW43 today and completed the first laps after being unprepared for the start of preseason testing last season.
This year they are in a much better situation because on the same day that they first showed a new car, they did the first test in Barcelona, during which they were allowed to take 21 laps on the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya.

The first test was also done by Renault, which did not show complete photos of the new R.S.20 at the car presentation, and as part of the first test in Barcelona, they showed the most complete photo of their new car that just came out of the pits.
