In just a few quick hours, the 2024 Formulation 1 season will get underway, as all ten groups are set to take part in pre-season testing. Beginning Wednesday morning at Bahrain Worldwide Circuit, the location of the primary race of the season, each F1 staff will put their 2024 challengers by way of the paces, gathering essential information for the season forward.
Now, all ten groups have confirmed their driver lineups for the times to come back.
Not one of the groups will likely be utilizing a reserve driver throughout testing, that means all 20 F1 drivers will likely be in motion over the subsequent three days. Whereas the vast majority of groups will use each drivers on every day, some groups — Crimson Bull, Mercedes, and Williams — could have a devoted driver for one full day of testing. For instance, defending Drivers’ Champion Max Verstappen could have the RB20 to himself all day Wednesday.
Ferrari has solely outlined the schedule for the primary day, which is able to see Charles Leclerc take part within the morning session, and Carlos Sainz Jr. within the afternoon session.
Right here is the total schedule:
