Btw, no Formula 1 car suffered from reliability issues on the first day of the pre-season test, but the Bahrain International Circuit did! There was a circuit wide power outage for almost an hour.
A very good day to everyone who started the day early today to watch F1 cars go round a track over and over again!
But some more questions WILL be answered as the sessions begin today!
✅ McLaren’s 2025 direction – Dynamic technical?
✅ Can Alpine bounce back from last year’s pre-season testing failures?
✅ Do bad tests mean a doomed season?
✅ Who is rooting for the rookies?
✅ How can the teams sharpen their skills throughout the season?
