The teams will test their cars to their limit during the three-day event which is important due to the new regulations implemented by F1. Teams will look to rectify any reliability issues, while drivers set their hands on the new cars and find grip on the track with the new 18-inch Pirelli tires. The three-day event will feature two sessions of two hours each a day as teams look to divide running time with the two drivers. 

The three days of Testing at Bahrain will frame a rough outline of how the racing grid will look during the 2022 season.
