Formula 1 testing continues💖 as the teams head to Bahrain for their final preparations before the new season.

Teams spent three days shaking down their new cars in Barcelona at the e♔nd of last month but the full focus turns to Bahrain with the second testও being shown live on TV.

With the first race of the season taking place in Bahrain, this test will be especially important for 𝕴the teams in understanding their new machines and the new 18-inch tyres.

Warmer temperatures, sandy conditions and driving under𝓀 the lights - the three days🦹 of testing should be an exciting watch.

Ferrari and McLaren have startedꦜ the season strongly, but Mercedes and Red Bull are expected to be introducing significant upgrades for Bahra🍨in ahead of the new season.

Alpine and Aston Martin went under the radar in the first test, while Alfa Romeo and Haas needs more♍ mileage🌠.

Teams will divide the schedules up into morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) seཧssions, or even in some cases, give one driver the entire day. 

Running begins in Bahrain at 0700 GM🐟T and finishes at 1600 GMT over three days - Thursday, March 10 tဣo Saturday, March 12.
