A new season of Formula One is nearly upon us but before the action can fully get underway, there’s a small matter of preseason testing to get through.
With all ten teams meeting in Bahrain a week early to conduct further tests on their cars, this will be the first chance that we see where each team has potentially excelled and failed during the off-season in terms of overall performance.
Expect to see interesting looking aerodynamic rakes attached to cars and strange hi-vis paint splattered on them as each team gets a serious first look at their competitors for the 2023 F1 season.
For all the session times and subsequent results, The Sporting News has you covered.
