F1 pre-season testing 2026: Fastest times, most laps, driver line-ups for first Bahrain test in Sakhir

Find out the driver line-ups for the first F1 Bahrain test, who has the best lap times and which teams have completed the most laps so far.

The introduction of new regulations means there is a robust schedule of three separate testing events before the start of the 2026 season.

With the Barcelona shakedown completed in January, two tests follow in Bahrain this week from February 11-13 and February 18-20.

The teams then have two weeks to prepare for the opening round of the season, which is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne from March 6-8.

The first practice sessions of the season will take place on Friday March 6, with Qualifying on Saturday March 7 and the opening race on Sunday March 8.
