Finally, F1 cars on track!

Each team has been clocking up the miles in the opening session of 2024 pre-season testing from a typically sunny Bahrain, with 10 drivers having been getting used to their new machinery for the upcoming season.

Hidden behind the flo-vis paint and the aero rakes are the cars which will be contesting the upcoming F1 season.

In the first session of the test, Max Verstappen (Red Bull), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), Yuki Tsunoda (RB), Oscar Piastri (McLaren), Valtteri Bottas (Stake F1), Alex Albon (Williams), Esteban Ocon (Alpine), Kevin Magnussen (Haas) and George Russell (Mercedes) were the lucky 10 to get first dibs!
