However, because of the rule shake-up, we have still official F1 testing in Bahrain in a few weeks, and there's two sets of three days.
But before that, right now, we have a five-day shakedown.
Shakedown, that's what it's called, shakedown.
I don't know if it's because Bahrain have spent millions of pounds to be the people that are the testing place.
Whatever it is, it's shakedown time in Barcelona.
And within this shakedown, as much as it is five days...
Teams are only allowed to run in three of those five days.
So if they roll out the pits and do half of an outlap, that is it.
Not half, even one metre.
If you roll out the pits full stop, that means they have taken part in the day.
And that's one of their three.
And finally, no media or fans allowed at the Test
and people were being kicked out.
That's the bizarre one.
It sounded like they had the secret service going around getting people to just basically remove them from the area.
Right, shall we get into the first question?
And it's as simple as this.
Why is the first F1 test so secretive?
However, I guess we're not allowed to see, but clearly they didn't do a very good job of us not seeing because half of the day live timing was being leaked.
So we were just chilling, doing a bit of a stream, trying to catch some information.
