Fernando tested the current spec 2020 package at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona, Spain, on Tuesday, as he ramps up his preparations for a return to Formula 1 with the team ahead of the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.

The two-time world champion completed 21 laps of the 4.655km circuit – the same venue in which he made his debut test with the team, formerly Benetton, almost 20 years ago. Tuesday’s filming day drive was Fernando’s first time back in a Formula 1 car in almost two years.
“It felt amazing,” said Fernando. “To be able to drive these cars after two years and feel the speed again, how everything comes so fast, corner after corner, the performance under braking and all the things a Formula 1 car has to offer felt nice.

“It made it special to be back in Barcelona. I remember the year 2000, I drove the Benetton here with the Enstone guys. Now, in 2020, it’s with Renault, so it’s a special track and I have lots of good memories here.
“We know the car is performing well at the last couple of races and I felt the grip and certainly good potential in it.
“Everything felt good. I wasn’t able to maximise the performance of the car because I’m not up to speed yet, but I’m happy with the day.”
