We start in Sakhir 07.50 – These are the tire choices instead. 07.40 – Here you will find the driving shifts, this morning on the track at the wheel of the Ferrari SF26 there will be Lewis Hamilton, while George Russell will have the Mercedes W17 at his disposal. Max Verstappen will be in the cockpit of the Red Bull RB22 throughout the day, while at McLaren in the morning Oscar Piastri will be on the track. 07:30 – We begin our news by remembering that the morning session will start at 08:00 and end at 12:00 (from 10:00 to 14:00 local time). Here you can find our ‘survival manual’ to get into the cockpit with us. Good morning dear readers of FormulaPassion.it and welcome back to the appointment dedicated to the live writing of the first morning of the first winter testing session in Bahrain on the Sakhir circuit. Unlike what happened in the Barcelona Shakedown, there will be no absences in this session as the Williams FW48 will also finally be on track together with the other ten single-seaters after missing the appointment in Catalonia due to some delays in the schedule. There is great anticipation to see all the single-seaters back on track after the indications that have already emerged in Barcelona, days in which Mercedes and Ferrari have clocked up kilometers and also set interesting times.
Bahrain Test-1 day-1 morning session: green light at 08:00 – LIVE
