Because the path in Barcelona, which is also subject to pre - season testing, is considered as measure of form individual teams throughout the season and it is therefore not surprising that teams choose to be the first major improvements they bring it right here - at least in the past. At the time of the coronavirus and especially this year with the new rules, it is a bit different.
Therefore, you can with tension we expect the fight for the title to continue between Ferrari in Red Bullom and racers Charles Leclerc in Max Verstappn. Judging by the last two races, he is showing better to the Austrian team, but as said, Barcelona could change that since Ferrari brings a bigger package of improvements. Understandably so Red Bullu they did not sit idly by and they will also be competing with the RB18 race car, which will have some improvements.
Will it be Mercedes, who still doesn't understand his car, succeeded troubleshoot, which they have been struggling with since the first race? Also in the camp silver arrows will be a whimsical race car W13 equipped with improvements. Will they be enough to take the duel at the top seriously? This one could answer that already racing weekend. The other teams will also boast of improvements, but we are most curious about that Aston Martin, which is certainly the biggest disappointment of this season. The green race cars (according to media reports, there is only one in Barcelona) will be completely changed and we will see B-version AMR22.

Spanish GP time
After a trip across a large puddle to Flowery, where the premiere race took place GP Miami, for the second half of May the Formula 1 caravan returns back to Europe. And as the first stop, it's his turn Barcelona, where it will be on the agenda this weekend GP of Spain. And here, usually in the month of May, pleasant spring temperatures prevail.
This weekend will be even better, oh there is no talk of rain. It is announced for all three days sunny weather with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius. The morning will be just a little colder with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. So the Formula 1 caravan is waiting for really nice weather.
Tire mixtures of the Spanish GP
Pirelli will v Barcelona brought his own this time the hardest set of mixtures tires, as the track has been slightly modified and therefore the Italians are going the safer route. Last but not least, because of new generations of race cars. Teams and racers will thus have mixtures at their disposal C1 (hard mixture with white border), C2 (middle mixture with yellow border) and C3 (soft mixture with red border).
Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli"It’s hard to say much about Barcelona, which hasn’t been said yet, as it’s probably the most famous race on the calendar for racers, as the track is also known for testing. It has a little bit of everything, with the last sector being very important when it comes to tire management. As a result, the team will have a good opportunity to assess the progress they have made with their racing cars since the start of the season, although the weather will be much warmer and there will probably be more driving on hard tires than tested, which may be key to the race. . In the past, Barcelona was traditionally a race with two stops in the pits, so it will be interesting to see if the new generation of tires will lead someone to the finish line with one stop this year."
