Daniel Ricciardo has completed his first running in Renault Formula 1 machinery as part of a filming day in Spain.
Ricciardo has joined Renault on a two-year deal after opting to leave Red Bull following a decade-long affiliation, which included five seasons with its Formula 1 team.
Renault posted a short clip of Ricciardo giving the R.S.19 its on-track debut at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Saturday, two days before the start of pre-season testing at the venue.
It means Renault has become the sixth team to carry out a shakedown of its 2019 car.
Mercedes, Red Bull and Toro Rosso all ran on Wednesday, Alfa Romeo on Thursday, while Haas preceded Renault by running in Barcelona on Friday.
Formula 1 teams are permitted two filming days per season in which running is limited to 100km and must be carried out on Pirelli’s promotional tyres.
Pre-season testing will begin at 09:00 on Monday morning at the Spanish Grand Prix venue.
