Sauber and Toro Rosso hit the track with new cars

Both Sauber and Toro Rosso have put the first few miles on their 2018 cars during filming days on Wednesday.

Teams are allowed to complete two filming days per year, but are limited to just 100km per day and are not supplied with competition tyres. Most teams use the opportunity to shakedown their new cars, providing an opportunity to run basic system checks before official testing gets underway.

Just one day after unveiling the new C37 to the world, Sauber arrived at the Circuit de Catalunya for the new car's first day of running.
