As the start of the Formula 1 season approaches, teams are set to begin testing at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. The tests will span three days, and teams must carefully manage their drivers' time on the track according to FIA rules. Each team is required to have only one car running during the current car tests, leading to a strategic division of track time between their two drivers. Some teams choose to alternate driving sessions, with one driver on the track in the morning and the other in the afternoon, while others may implement different strategies to maximize their testing time. For Alpine, the driving schedule is pivotal as they prepare for the upcoming season, and an efficient testing phase will be essential for gauging their car's performance and making necessary adjustments before the races begin. As drivers like Franco Colapinto take to the track, the teams will gather critical data that could heavily influence their performance in the season. With the new Alpine car, every second on the track during these tests will be crucial for understanding its capabilities and ensuring a competitive edge in the fast-approaching season.
