Sky 3D and Sky Sports F1 viewers will be able to watch live action from the Circuit de Catalunya on all four days of the test - the last before the 2013 F1 season starts in Australia - continuing on Friday, 1 March at 2pm.

"This is a special moment for Formula 1 fans and exactly the kind of innovation and access that Sky Sports F1 promised," said Sky F1's Martin Brundle. "3D will show us the real challenges of the race track with added depth and perspective. It will be a new, immersive experience for viewers and I can't wait to see what F1 action in 3D will reveal."

Sky Sports F1 is the only place to watch every grand prix live in 2013

Our dedicated F1 channel will broadcast every race, qualifying and practice session live, along with highlights shows, analysis and even more coverage via the Red Button.

Sky is at the forefront of the world's 3D sports production and F1 has become the 14th sport to be broadcast in 3D by Sky. The coverage is being presented by Simon Lazenby with commentary from David Croft and special guests.

"This is groundbreaking," added Sky Sports F1's Executive Producer Martin Turner. "We're as excited as the next fan to see what Formula 1 will look like in 3D. It's uncharted territory, but this is a big opportunity to experiment and innovate, and we're grateful to Formula One Management for working with us on this.

"Sky is a world-leader in the field of 3D broadcasting, so in partnership with Formula 1 we're in the best position to answer public appetite and take up the challenge of bringing live F1 in 3D for the first time."
