The next step on the march to the beginning of the 2025 Formula 1 season is here.

This week all ten team, and all 20 drivers, will be in action for pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit. Starting Wednesday morning and running for three days, the ten F1 teams will put their new challengers — and in some cases their new drivers — through the paces.
