Formula 1 pre-season testing is underway at the Bahrain International Circuit with all 10 teams eager to make the most of the limited three-days of running.

On the first day of testing, 17 drivers will be on show including all three rookie drivers - Mick Schumacher, Nikita Mazepin and Yuki Tsunoda - and Williams test driver Roy Nissany.

Lewis Hamilton will be in action for the first time on Friday afternoon despite team-mate Valtteri Bottas completing only extremely limited running in the morning after a gearshift issue forced the team into making a precautionary gearbox change.

GPFans has compiled a gallery of images from the first day of pre-season testing.
