The 2022 Formula One season is expected to see the introduction of significant changes to the sport’s technical regulations taking the sport in a new direction. Due to the change in technical regulations, Formula One decided to hold two Pre-season Tests at two different race tracks to help teams gather more data on their new cars.
Ahead of the second testing, all 10 teams in the Formula One grid have revealed their 2022 contenders. The data collected from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya would be analysed. The teams are expected to arrive in Bahrain with revised Aerodynamic packages and will also bring their very own solution to purpoising.
Teams like Haas and Alfa Romeo will hope to address their reliability issues. While teams including Red Bull and Ferrari have already spoken about the upgrades they hope to bring to the opening Grand Prix of the season. So be prepared as the Official Pre-season testing in Bahrain will be a sneak peek into the craziness ahead.

When, where, and how to watch the F1 session of Bahrain?
The second and Official Pre-season Testing commences on 10 to 12 March from the Bahrain International Circuit. The 5.412-kilometre will also host the first race of the season, the Bahrain Grand Prix. Hence this would be the ideal rehearsal for teams before the season premiere.
Unlike Barcelona, this test will be broadcast live on television and F1TV, as well as offering live timing – available through the F1TV app. F1.com will have extensive live coverage, live timing, reaction and analysis from all three days in Bahrain.
The testing in Bahrain expands over three days and six sessions in total. Each day there will be two sessions: Morning and Evening. The morning session begins at 7 AM GMT and runs until 11 AM GMT. Following the break, testing resumes at 12 AM GMT and end at 4 PM GMT, with each session giving the teams 4 hours of practice in their new cars.
Here’s the schedule for Barcelona:
