F1 Test One on Sky Sports: Recap the pre-season action

The snow threatened to wreaked havoc, but Formula 1 is back...

MONTMELO, SPAIN - FEBRUARY 26: Fernando Alonso of Spain and McLaren F1 checks over his car after stopping on track during day one of F1 Winter Testing at C

Sky Sports had all bases covered throughout the first week of winter testing despite adverse weather disrupting the pre-season action in Barcelona.

The four-day meeting marked F1's official return to action and the end of the sport's three-month hiatus - but teams weren't able to rack up ideal mileage as cold conditions, and even snow, had an effect.

But there was still plenty of off-track content and reports from the Sky Sports team, with live trackside updates from Sky Sports News' Craig Slater as well as a live commentary service across Sky's Digital platforms.

The track running was also reviewed and dissected on the Sky F1 channel on Paddock Uncut, while Ted's Notebook was essential viewing for all the developing stories.

And have no fear, the Sky team will be back for more of the same next week at Test Two. And hopefully the sun will be shining!
