What time is F1 testing 2024? Dates, session times and schedule
All the times, dates and session information for Formula 1 testing in 2024.
Formula 1 pre-season testing has arrived, with all 10 teams preparing for the fresh season on track in Bahrain.
The first race of the season goes ahead on Saturday 2nd March in the deserts of Sakhir, but how well teams fare on the day rests on how much data they can scrape in the days to come.
Testing is not racing, but you will see all manner of manoeuvres being trialled, which will allow teams to tweak and refine their formulae ahead of the real deal.
Red Bull are clearly the team to watch following another dominant season leading from the front, though Mercedes and Ferrari will be determined to draw nearer to them at the top.
Fans across the globe will be excited for their first dose of Formula 1 cars on track since the end of last season, and there will be plenty of opportunities for them to see exactly that over the course of testing.
