Good morning on day two

Good morning and welcome to Crash.net’s live coverage of the second day of the first F1 2026 pre-season test in Bahrain.

We have another eight hours of F1 testing action coming up for you on Thursday, and we will be keeping you up to date with everything that happens at the Bahrain International Circuit right here.Â
