Pierre Gasly, Alpine, Bahrain International Circuit, 2024 pre-season test

Formula 1 teams have confirmed their driver line-ups for the sole, three-day test which will take place before the new season begins.

The test will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit, starting tomorrow.

Lewis Hamilton will start the test for his new team Ferrari tomorrow before handing over to team mate Charles Leclerc in the afternoon. Ferrari has not yet confirmed its plans for the remaining days but their rivals have all announced their line-ups for the full test.

Most teams will rotate between their two drivers each day. Also among those in action when the test begins tomorrow are new Red Bull driver Liam Lawson, Mercedes’ rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Alpine’s new hire Jack Doohan.

Red Bull and Williams are the only teams who have so far indicated they will give their drivers full days in their cars. Lawson and Carlos Sainz Jnr will drive throughout Thursday, while their team mates Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon will do the same on the final day of the test.
