– sakhir (bahrain)

Everything is ready in Bahrain for the second session of the Formula 1 tests. This week the Circus moves to Sakhir because from Thursday to Saturday there will be the second three days of work of the teams that will not return home, but will stop in view of the Season debut of the following week: the first match of the championship between 18 and 20 March.

first judgments

It will be the session of the first judgments because we are racing on the track of the first world championship race and because the teams will start to push on development after the three days that took place in Spain. In Bahrain the weather conditions will be much more demanding than in Montmeló, with much higher temperatures that will stress the new 18-inch tires, environmental comparisons that are important to understand the behavior of the cars and thus help the engineers also in view of the next races.

haas with fittipaldi

Ferrari and McLaren are the cars that performed best in the first session in Spain, but it is reasonable to expect significant responses from Mercedes and Red Bull. At Haas, after the termination of the contract with the Russian Nikita Mazepin, the presence at the wheel of the Brazilian Pietro Fittipaldi has been confirmed. The team has not yet announced who will replace Mazepin, although Fittipaldi seems to be the favorite.

timetables and live coverage

Gazzetta.it will follow the three-day test live with real-time updates, images (photos and videos) and statements from the protagonists for the entire duration of the three days. The sessions will take place between 8 and 17 Italian. SKY Sport F1 will broadcast the tests live on TV at the same times.
