Formula 1 has made a major change to the broadcast schedule for the two tests in Bahrain, ahead of the 2026 Australian Grand Prix to start the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
F1 returns next week with the first of three tests organised by the championship for the start of the new power unit regulations, with the official shakedown test in Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It will see each team allowed to run on three days between Monday to Friday, before heading out to Bahrain in February for two further three-day tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first test in Bahrain takes place across February 11-13, with the second a week later across February 18-20.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both tests at the Bahrain International Circuit were set to be fully broadcast; however, that is no longer the case.<\/p>\n
According to F1TV’s available schedule, the first three-day test will feature just one-hour of coverage from 3pm GMT, while the second week is set to still be broadcast as planned from 7am GMT each morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Formula 1 has made a major change to the broadcast schedule for the two tests in Bahrain, ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,827,817,830,828,831,829,826,813,816,823,825,824,822,85],"class_list":["post-428348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
