The first pre-season test of 2026 is done and dusted.
Three days of running at the Bahrain International Circuit have drawn to a close, with Kimi Antonelli topping the final timesheets to cap a Mercedes one-two on the closing day, a result that will raise eyebrows given the difficulties the Silver Arrows encountered earlier in the week.
The test marks the beginning of a new era for Formula 1, with sweeping changes to both the power unit and chassis regulations meaning teams are effectively starting from scratch, and the gulf between those who adapted quickly and those still finding their feet was plain to see in the lap counts.
Here’s a look at the stats from the first Bahrain test.
