The complete F1 bahrain pre season testing schedule and times
The long Formula 1 winter break has come to an end, which means that all teams will be back on the circuit simultaneously starting Wednesday, February 21st. Like in 2023, the pre-season testing takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit and consists of three testing days.
Compared to last year, these testing days have been shortened by half an hour each day. This means that the morning session starts at 07:00 GMT time every day. From 11 AM to 12 PM, there is time for lunch and possibly driver changes, after which the afternoon session begins at 12:00 PM. It runs until 4:00 PM.
