The F1 pre season testing of 2024 is almost upon us and as is now tradition, official on-track running will begin with testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The upcoming three-day test in Bahrain will provide valuable insights into the performance of teams and drivers before the first race of the season. We will see if anyone can challenge Max Verstappen and Red Bull for both titles. The testing will take place from February 21-23, with Bahrain replacing Barcelona as the venue. This allows teams to test their new cars in representative conditions. Each driver will have limited time behind the wheel, with some getting a full day and others running across multiple half days. The testing will be covered by Sky Sports F1 and F1 TV, and RacingNews365 will provide full coverage as well. The weather in Bahrain is expected to be favorable, with temperatures reaching over 20 degrees Celsius, providing optimal conditions for testing.
