Bahrain F1 test: When is each driver in the car?

Every team has just one car in the Bahrain F1 test - so which driver is driving when?

Formula 1's five-day shakedown in Barcelona for the all-new 2026 cars is being followed by the first 'official' test in Bahrain, spanning from Wednesday, February 11 to Friday, February 13.

Every driver on the grid will be in action - but, as usual, some teams are choosing to split days between drivers, while others will use a single driver per day.

Those plans may yet change depending on run plans and whether either of the team's two drivers is conspicuously short of mileage due to something unforeseen - but, for now, here is what we know of the plans for the test.
