F1 Bahrain pre-season testing live commentary and updates - day 1

Cars will be on track from 10am to 2pm and from 3pm to 7pm local time.

After Barcelona's five-day shakedown (a test in all but name), during which teams were allowed to run on three days each, this is a three-day test from Wednesday to Friday, with all squads (presumably) running every day.

Good morning, and welcome to Autosport and Motorsport to follow Formula 1's 2026 Bahrain pre-season test!
