It will also be the first time Portugal has ever hosted the first race of the year, with expectation ahead of the new season set to hit full speed on the Algarve as the grid debut with their new colours and machinery, and the first trophies of the season are awarded.

There will also be official pre-season tests held at Portimão during the weeks before the event, the dates of which will be confirmed soon.
