2024 F1 pre-season testing driver lineup


In a number of brief hours, the 2024 System 1 season will get underway, as all ten groups are set to take part in pre-season testing. Beginning Wednesday morning at Bahrain Worldwide Circuit, the positioning of the primary race of the season, each F1 group will put their 2024 challengers by way of the paces, gathering crucial knowledge for the season forward.

Now, all ten groups have confirmed their driver lineups for the times to return.

Not one of the groups will probably be utilizing a reserve driver throughout testing, that means all 20 F1 drivers will probably be in motion over the following three days. Whereas nearly all of groups will use each drivers on every day, some groups — Crimson Bull, Mercedes, and Williams — may have a devoted driver for one full day of testing. For instance, defending Drivers’ Champion Max Verstappen may have the RB20 to himself all day Wednesday.

Ferrari has solely outlined the schedule for the primary day, which can see Charles Leclerc take part within the morning session, and Carlos Sainz Jr. within the afternoon session.

Right here is the complete schedule:
