A crucial three days of pre-season testing begin in Bahrain for Formula 1 teams on Wednesday as Red Bull's rivals look to glean the first indication of whether they have managed to close down the world champions' advantage from last year over the winter. Each of the 10 teams will put their respective new car through its paces from Wednesday across three days of testing at the Bahrain International Circuit with live track coverage starting from 7am each day on Sky Sports F1.
Pre-season's sole test is particularly important for the main would-be challengers to F1's world champions - namely Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, and Aston Martin - as they look to hit back in 2024 after Red Bull and Max Verstappen produced the most dominant season in the sport's history last year.
