F1 testing 2023: Friday driver lineup in Bahrain as day two schedule confirmed

Max Verstappen Bahrain Esteban Ocon Kevin Magnussen Lando Norris Nico Hulkenberg Nyck de Vries Oscar Piastri Pierre Gasly Alex Albon

Formula One pre-season testing in Bahrain continues with day two on Friday.

Double F1 world champion Max Verstappen headed out on the first day for Red Bull with Carlos Sainz, George Russell and Charles Leclerc also out on track before Lewis Hamilton starts day two behind the wheel.

Each day is split into morning and afternoon sessions with most teams dividing their track time evenly between their drivers. However, Lance Stroll will miss Aston Martin’s test after injuring himself in a cycling accident, handing F2 champion Felipe Drugovich the chance to partner Fernando Alonso, the Spaniard scheduled for the entire Friday running.
