Formula 1 testing continues as the 🦩teams head to Bahrain for their final prepar🦄ations before the new season.
Teams spent three days shaking down their new cars in Ba🍃rcelona at the end of last month but the full focus turns to Bahrain with the second test being shown live on TV.
With the first race of the season ꦅtaking place in Bahrain, this test will be especially important for the teams in understanding their new machines and the new 18-inch tyres.
Warmer temperatures, sandy condition♏s and driving under the lights - the three day🥃s of testing should be an exciting watch.
Ferrari and McLaren have started the season strongly, but Mercedeಌs and Red Bull are expected to be introducing significant upgrades for Bahrain ahead of the n♒ew season.
Alpine and Aston Martin went under the radar in the first test, while Alf❀a Romeo and Haas needs more mileag𒐪e.
Teams will divide the schedules up into morning (AM) and afternoon (PMꦫ) sessions, or even in some cases, give one driver the entire day.
Running begins in Bahrain at 0700 GMT and finishes at 1600 GMT over three days ♔- Thursday, March 10 to Saturday, March 1🐷2.
