Watch a free test of the direct broadcast here from the Formula 1 test, with three days of work before the season that takes place in Bahrain from Wednesday to Friday.
With only a few weeks passed until the Australian Grand Prix for the season, the 2025 car will reach the track in the Bahrain International Circuit.
There will be two sessions a day, every four hours, with each of the ten sports teams allowing operating one car, which leads to the rotation of their drivers between the sessions.
Lewis Hamilton will lead in the opening session on Wednesday morning as the world champion is preparing for seven times for his first campaign with Ferrari.
There are a lot of new faces at work, with Hamilton’s replacement in Mercedes, Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who is 18 years old, who also appeared in the opening session.
