Ten F1 teams kicked off a three-day group test at the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castellet, located near Marseille in France, on Wednesday.

In sunny weather, the teams began running on the short '2D-SC' configuration of the so-called High Tech Test Track to simulate the tight curves of the forthcoming Monaco grand prix.

On Friday, the circuit will switch to a lower downforce layout for Montreal preparations.
