Formula 1: at what time and on which TV channel can you follow the pre-season tests?

After a grand presentation of their single-seaters last week in London, the 20 Formula 1 drivers are getting ready to be able to publicly try them out for the first time. From Wednesday to Friday, the entire paddock met at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain for the traditional pre-season tests, which should allow the first hierarchy to be established between the teams.

These first laps of the circuit will also be an opportunity to gauge the rookies of the season: Andrea Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes, Gabriel Bortoleto at Sauber and, above all, Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls. "I am really looking forward to these tests. I have been waiting to get in the car since my last day of testing last year in Abu Dhabi," the Frenchman, vice-champion of the Formula 2 world championship last year, explained to AFP.

Formula 1 pre-season testing is scheduled for this Wednesday, February 26, then Thursday and Friday, from 8 a.m. and then from 1 p.m., on the Canal + Sport channel.
