How to follow and watch F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain LIVE

The build-up to the 2021 Formula 1 seasons starts in earnest this weekend as the teams and drivers head to Bahrain for winter testing where they will find out what their work over the break since December fares on track.

This year, the teams have moved from their usual base in Barcelona to the Bahrain International Circuit, and instead of the usual six days the testing has been condensed into just one weekend meaning the competitors have a shortened window to get all the information they need.

All the teams and drivers will be in action over the three days, with Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes expected to once more lead the way with eyes also on the chasing pack of Red Bull and Max Verstappen, the new Aston Martin team as well as McLaren and Ferrari.

RacingNews365.com will be on hand to cover all of the action and you can find our winter testing live blog HERE.

We will also have exclusive interviews, news and analysis throughout the testing session and the build-up to the 2021 season opener in Bahrain.
