The long Formula 1 winter breakis over, which means all the teams are back on the track together for the first time. The winter test, just like in 2024, takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit and consists of three test days from Wednesday, February 26th to Friday, February 28th.
Compared to last year, the duration of the sessions is the same. This means that the morning session starts every day at 07:00 GMT. From 11:00 GMT to 12:00 GMT there is time for lunch and possibly a driver change, after which the afternoon session starts from 12:00 GMT. It continues until 16:00 GMT.
