Teams Formula 1 are preparing in different ways for the start of this season, which will be July 5 in Austria. Mercedes is in Silverstone practiced for two days in a 2018 race car. Also Renault did the same on Red Bull Ringu, Ferrari however, it will do so today in Mugello with a race car SF71H.
Given the ban on testing with this year’s race cars is use two years old mandatory for large test runs. The only exception is the so-called recording day. On this day of filming, the team may not drive more than 100 kilometers, the car must be shod in special tires very hard mixtures made with topical products Pirelli they have nothing in common. The background to this regulation lies in the fact that the ombudsmen want it to preventthat a team would use the filming day for a real test, which has happened in the past. Each team has at its disposal two such filming days. Otherwise, outside of racing weekends, they only exist two options, where teams can test with current race cars. For the first time in winter testing in Barcelona and for the second time after the end of the season in Abu Dhabi.
For example, the filming day has already been used by the team Racing Point on 17 June in Silverstone, Alpha Tauri on June 24, she will “record” on the track in Imola. Red Bull will do the same on Thursday 25 June on the British track in Silverstone. Red bulls they are the only top team that doesn’t have the opportunity to their racers Max Verstappn in Alex Albon puts a two-year-old race car on the track. Because it is in the 2018 season Red Bullove racing cars still Renault drive unit and have been used since last season Honda's aggregates.
