The new season is upon us again, and that means it is once again time for test days. This year, these will be completed in Bahrain. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the likes of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will again take their place behind the wheel of their new car. See who is driving when here. The list will be kept up-to-date.

The three days are divided into a morning block and an afternoon block. From 10:00 to 14:00 (local time), the morning block will take place. The afternoon block will last from 15:00 to 19:00, again local time.

Teams schedule both their drivers on these blocks. Some teams choose to alternate drivers every day, like Alpine. Other teams choose for one driver to drive a whole day, and then split testing on the third day, like Red Bull. Verstappen drives the whole Wednesday, while Perez drives the whole Friday.
