F1 testing was disrupted briefly on Friday afternoon after a bus – yes, that’s right, a bus – invaded the Bahrain International Circuit.
During pre-season testing on Friday, a second red flag was deployed due to a bizarre incident on the track. The afternoon session was interrupted when a bus was seen driving across the run-off area, prompting race control to immediately signal the red flag. This unusual event posed a clear threat to both driver and public safety, leading to the decision to halt the session. This incident added to the peculiar reasons for red flags during testing this year, such as a shattered glass panel on the start box gantry and a power outage that caused darkness on Wednesday. The drivers were forced to return to the pit lane until the bus was safely removed from the circuit. This unexpected interruption highlighted the importance of maintaining track safety and control during testing sessions.
