F1 Testing: Confirmed day one driver line-ups
Teams begin the second three-day test in Bahrain
F1 teams will hit the Bahrain International Circuit for the second pre-season test as the battle to get on top of the new regulations continue.
The three-day event will be the final chance for teams to hone in on optimum configurations ahead of the first race of the year at the same venue next weekend.
Lewis Hamilton will start the test off for Mercedes whilst Sergio Perez is on duty for Red Bull.
Elsewhere, Haas will miss the morning session of Thursday's running after freight delays meant the team's cargo only arrive late on Tuesday night.
