The Algarve International Circuit will once again receive Formula 1 cars – but not for a race.

In December this year, Pirelli will test in Portimão and AlphaTauri will be coming to the Portuguese track, according to SportTV commentator João Carlos Costa.

The testing will take place during the 14th and 15th of December, and will take place behind closed doors. The press will not be present at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, as happened last July, when McLaren was also testing on the Portuguese circuit.

Also according to the SportTV commentator, who made the revelation during the Japanese Grand Prix, in addition to AlphaTauri, there could be another team involved in the Pirelli tests.
