Winter test in Bahrain
The Formula 1 season starts as usual since 2009 with a winter test. This year it is for the first time in Bahrain instead of Spain because the season will also start in Bahrain. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the test has also been shortened to three days, so the new drivers have to be economical with their time.
Despite the fact that only one car can be used per team, seventeen drivers will be in action. Seven teams choose to split the day in two. Red Bull Racing, Alpine and Williams will give their day to one driver. On Friday Verstappen, Esteban Ocon and Roy Nissany will be the only drivers in action.
