P1racenews AI automatic summary:
With F1 testing being so limited, pre-season mileage is very important for teams in order to collect data ahead of the new campaign.
The first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain showed strong reliability across all teams, despite some challenges caused by the circuit’s power outage. Each team executed their planned runs in preparation for the upcoming season, with Wednesday kicking off the first of three testing days at the Bahrain International Circuit. During the lunch break, every driver handed over the car to their teammate, preventing any driver from completing more than 100 laps individually. Haas’ Esteban Ocon led the lap count with 88 laps, and the team covered the most distance out of all participants. Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll ranked 19th and 20th in total laps, putting Aston Martin at the bottom of the team standings, as the only team to not reach 100 laps on day one. Check out the full lap count breakdown by driver and team below!
