Video: Bahrain F1 pre-season test day one review
Max Verstappen and Red Bull set the fastest lap times, being more than a second ahead of their rivals after completing an impressive 142 laps in the new RB20 car. McLaren’s Lando Norris and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz showed promising performances as the best of the rest, while Mercedes’ George Russell struggled, finishing in 12th place. While testing results should be viewed cautiously, it raises questions about what to expect from this year’s Formula 1 cars. The focus now shifts to who’s performing well and who’s struggling, and whether any other teams have a chance of challenging Red Bull this season. Autosport’s Bryn Lucas interviews Matt Kew in Bahrain and Sam Hall in the UK to delve deeper into their reactions to the first day of F1 pre-season testing.
