Three days of pre-season testing is taking place in Bahrain ahead of the 2023 F1 campaign.

It marks an opportunity for the teams to run their new cars in anger for the first time as well as the first collective running of the year.

The three days will be key for teams to get a proper understanding of their new challengers and iron out any issues in time for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 5.

It will also give several drivers the chance to get up to speed with their new teams.

Fernando Alonso has joined Aston Martin, with Pierre Gasly replacing the Spaniard at Alpine. Nico Hulkenberg has returned to the F1 grid with Haas, while Oscar Piastri and Nyck de Vries will complete 2023’s ‘rookie’ contingent at McLaren and AlphaTauri.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen heads into 2023 aiming to make it three world championship triumphs in a row.

Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will be looking to stop Verstappen, while Lewis Hamilton and George Russell hope Mercedes’ modified W14 can power them back into F1 title contention.

Lewis is a fixture at every major Grand Prix around the world. Nobody captures the drivers’ personalities amid the chaos like Lewis does - watch out for his story with Daniel Ricciardo as he fights for his future (Daniel, not Lewis).
