Wondering when your favorite drivers will be on track? We have you covered

In a few short hours, the 2024 Formula 1 season will get underway, as all ten teams are set to participate in pre-season testing. Starting Wednesday morning at Bahrain International Circuit, the site of the first race of the season, every F1 team will put their 2024 challengers through the paces, gathering critical data for the season ahead.

Now, all ten teams have confirmed their driver lineups for the days to come.

None of the teams will be using a reserve driver during testing, meaning all 20 F1 drivers will be in action over the next three days. While the majority of teams will use both drivers on each day, some teams — Red Bull, Mercedes, and Williams — will have a dedicated driver for one full day of testing. For example, defending Drivers’ Champion Max Verstappen will have the RB20 to himself all day Wednesday.

Ferrari has only outlined the schedule for the first day, which will see Charles Leclerc participate in the morning session, and Carlos Sainz Jr. in the afternoon session.

Here is the full schedule:

Each day consists of two sessions, a morning session which begins at 10:00 a.m. local time (2:00 a.m. Eastern) and an afternoon session which begins at 3:00 p.m. local time (7:00 a.m. Eastern).

F1 fans in the United States will need a subscription to F1TV to watch testing.
