Winter testing will begin in Bahrain on February 23 – for the second time in history, they will last just three days. Many are not happy about this, but the duration of the tests is agreed between the teams within the framework of the financial regulations.
All ten teams take part in the tests, each can field only one car, on which the riders will take turns working.
The tests will begin at 10 a.m. local time (coinciding with Moscow) every day. The first session lasts four hours – from 10am to 2pm, then a one-hour break with two press conferences – at 2:05pm with the riders, at 2:35pm with team representatives – and the second session – from 3:00pm to 7:30pm .
We will tell you about the most interesting.
