Formula 1 testing continues as the teams head to Bahrain for their final preparations befor🉐e the new season.
Teams spent three da🌜ys shaking down t💦heir new cars in Barcelona at the end of last month but the full focus turns to Bahrain with the second test being shown live on TV.
With the first ra꧑ce of the season taking place in Bahrain, this test will be especiall🔴y important for the teams in understanding their new machines and the new 18-inch tyres.
Warmer temperatures, sandy co𝓰nditions and driving under the lights - the three days of testing should be an exciting watch.
Ferrari and McLaren have started the season strongly, but Merc🌱edes and Red Bull are expected to be introducing significant upgrades for Bahrain ahead of the new season.
Alpine andꦑ Aston Martin went under the radar in the first test, while Alfa Romeo and Haas needs more m🌠ileage.
Teams will divide the schedules up into morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) sessions, or even in some cases, give one driv💝er the entire day.
Runnin🐎g begins in Bahrain at 0700 GMT and finishes at 1600 GMT over three days - Thursday, Ma✤rch 10 to Saturday, March 12.
