Sergio Perez, from Mexico, piloting for the Red Bull Racing RB20 team, participated in the Formula 1 tests on February 22, 2024, at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
The first race of the 2024 Formula 1 season, which usually takes place on Sundays, is deviating from tradition. This is due to the start of the holy month of Ramadan on Sunday, March 10. As a result, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the second stage of the season, will be held on Saturday, March 9. This schedule change also affects the Bahrain Grand Prix.
As a result, the Bahrain International Circuit will kick off the event with Free Practice 1 on Thursday at 2:30 PM local time (11:30 AM GMT). Free Practice 2 will follow at 6:00 PM local time (3:00 PM GMT) on the same day.
Friday will be the day of qualifying, with Free Practice 3 starting at 3:30 PM local time (12:30 PM GMT) and Qualifying taking place at 7:00 PM local time (4:00 PM GMT).
Finally, the Grand Prix will take place on Saturday, starting at 6:00 PM local time (3:00 PM GMT).
Viewers in the UK and Ireland can watch live coverage of all the action, with highlights available later in the day on free-to-air channels.
