Formula 1 | Sainz and Hulkenberg on track in Barcelona with the RS18 for a filming day session [VIDEO]

During this morning, Renault covered the first kilometers with the RS18 in Barcelona, the single-seater with which Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg will face the next Formula One world championship.

Scuderia transalpina published a short clip of the event on Twitter, posting the German's first exit from the pits. The day's work on the track will continue this afternoon too, with the steering wheel that will pass into the hands of Carlos Sainz, which will complete the remaining fifty kilometers of this filming day. The French Scuderia, we remember, is using this advertising session for a brief shakedown on the car in anticipation of the next pre-season tests in Barcelona (from 26 February to 1 March. ed.).
