After a four-month hiatus, Formula 1 is finally kicking itself in gear this weekend with the opening round of the 2020 season held at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

Teams have taken up residency at the deserted circuit, where stringent COVID-19 protocols and measures are governing everyone's work.

The low populated spartan paddock, void of motorhomes, cast a desolate reflection but the buzz will reverberate through the neighboring hills when the cars hit the track tomorrow.

In the interim, here's our first batch of pics from Thursday's build-up in Spielberg.
