F1 has its first cars on track in a public capacity with pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Teams will have just three days to find out more about their machinery and how data correlates between track and factory before the first race of the season at the same venue a week later.
Drivers are therefore afforded just one and a half days of running each in the car, with some completing all their allocations in one hit and others splitting duties each day with their teammates.
Take a look at the confirmed driver line-ups for each day below!
