With just two weeks remaining for the 2021 F1 season to begin, it is time for pre-season testing. The 2021 F1 pre-season testing will take place live at the Bahrain International Circuit from March 12-14. With higher temperatures and more predictable weather in Bahrain as compared to Barcelona, teams will find it easier to analyze car and tyre performance.

The morning session will take place from 10 am to 2 pm local time while the afternoon session takes place from 3 pm to 7 pm local time.

The Spaniard will join the rebranded Alpine (earlier Renault) team for the 2021 F1 season. This is the same team where Alonso was his two championships. The other significant team change is that Sebastian Vettel has joined Aston Martin after he left the Scuderia outfit because of a miserable 2020 F1 season. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo is set to make his debut with McLaren after Carlos Sainz left McLaren for Ferrari. Sergio Perez replaces Alex Albon at Red Bull while the Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Williams team remain unchanged. The 2021 F1 season will also see three debutees: AlphaTauri's Yuki Tsunoda and Haas pairing of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin.
