F1 Testing 2026 weather forecast – Latest from Bahrain
All 11 F1 teams are gearing up for the first official round of pre-season testing ahead of the 2026 F1 championship.
The 2026 constructor lineup, excluding Williams, have already tested their new machinery in last month’s shakedown in Barcelona.
Teams and drivers this year get three times the testing time compared to last year, allowing them to iron out any teething problems stemming from the new regulations.
Bahrain will host two sets of pre-season testing days, starting February 11 and concluding on February 20.
The 2026 F1 season will commence with the Australian Grand Prix from March 6 to March 8. Sky Sports F1 will cover the Bahrain testing schedule and more details can be found on their broadcast schedule.
