Christian Horner would be quite happy to lose another day of testing – despite having only three before the new Formula 1 season starts.
Last year there were six days of pre-season testing in total – split evenly between sessions in Barcelona and Bahrain. This year, only the three days in Bahrain are taking place, giving each driver just a day and a half behind the wheel to get used to their new machines.
Understandably, most of the drivers would like to get a bit more experience with these 2023 cars before racing them competitively. George Russell pointed out that few other elite sports allow for such little practice before the season begins.
