Forward of the long-awaited 2026 F1 season, groups gathered in Bahrain for 2 weeks of pre-season testing.

Preparations for a courageous new period in F1 are effectively underway, with all 11 groups working to maximise observe time and familiarity with the brand new vehicles earlier than competitors begins on the Australian Grand Prix on March eighth.

Over the following two weeks, six days of driving might be held on the Bahrain Worldwide Circuit, divided into two three-day checks. The primary pre-season check might be held from February eleventh to thirteenth, and the second from February 18th to twentieth.

Williams was unable to arrange its FW48 machine in time and was absent from Barcelona’s shakedown behind closed doorways, making its check debut. Aston Martin additionally solely had a full day of driving in Spain after becoming a member of the check late, however they should catch up.
