The first winter test of 2022 will be held entirely behind closed doors. After it already became clear that film crews are not allowed, the circuit now also reports that no fans are welcome at the circuit.

No fans in Barcelona

From February 23 to 25, the new Formula 1 cars for the 2022 season will be put to the test for the first time. An important moment for all teams, because only then can we see how the competition has handled the new regulations. Who will find the golden egg and who will turn out to have done their homework the worst?

For the fans, however, this will have to wait until the test week from March 11 to 13 in Bahrain. During the first week no journalists are welcome at the circuit and now it also comes out that fans are not welcome. As a result, fans and journalists will be completely dependent on the photographers on the circuit and the images from the teams.
