As quickly as that, the 2026 Formula 1 pre-season is almost at its end - with this week's second Bahrain test offering teams the final chance to hone their new cars on-track before the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in early March.

Every driver on the grid will be in action across the February 18-20 test in Bahrain but, as is often the case, some teams have chosen 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.
