"Formula 1's preseason kicks into overdrive with the first of two tests in Bahrain this week, and you can follow all the action live with ESPN. The 11 teams got up and running with the all-new-for-2026 cars in a private test in Barcelona in January, but now comes an acid test in the form of two three-day tests in Bahrain."
"Mercedes appear to have started on the front foot but are Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari also in the frontrunning picture? - F1 testing: Who posted fastest times, most laps in Barcelona?- F1 testing: When and how to watch live, full Bahrain preseason schedule- F1 2026 car launches: All pictures of new cars as full grid completed"
Preseason testing resumes in Bahrain with two three-day sessions that will stress the new 2026 cars and team packages. Eleven teams previously ran the all-new 2026 cars in a private Barcelona test, and the Bahrain sessions will provide a clearer performance picture. Mercedes have shown early pace, while Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari remain potential frontrunners and others could introduce surprising packages. Live TV coverage for the first Bahrain test is limited to one hour per day, but ESPN is on-site in Sakhir providing updates, timing, and media-session reports.
