The first day of the 2024 Formula 1 winter testing started at 10 a.m. local time at the Bahrain circuit.
Sunny, air temperature +22C, asphalt warmed up to +26C. No precipitation is expected, but gusty winds could bring sand from the desert.
There are two 4-hour sessions beforehand with a one-hour break. The tests end at 7:00 PM Moscow time.
The first to take to the track, just like last year, was George Russell in a car with aerodynamic sensors.
