The Bahrain International Circuit is the setting for this year's Formula 1 winter test and instead of the six days which we have seen before, there will only be three.
As a result, if everything is divided equally, each driver will be in the car for just a day and a half at most. Max Verstappen be in action for Red Bull on Friday, while Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will get half a day's running for Mercedes and Ferrari, respectively.
Special attention will be paid to Red Bull, as they have largely kept their car a secret, as well as Ferrari who come to the winter test with an improved power unit.
