Formula One’s first day of pre-season testing began in Valencia this morning (1st February) to kick off 15 days of track action ahead of the first race of the 2010 season in Bahrain on 14 March.

This session at the “Ricardo Tormo” circuit is of great interest and around 100 journalists arrived in the Spanish city for the debut of the cars from seven teams. Even the grandstands were crowded although it is Monday. Apart from the Ferrari F10 there are also the single-seaters from Mercedes, Sauber, Toro Rosso, Williams, McLaren and Renault on the track today.
