Haas has confirmed a schedule for how it will recoup the time lost after freight delays caused the team to miss the first session of testing in Bahrain.

Haas failed to take part in the Thursday morning session in Bahrain after the plane carrying the team's freight was delayed in Istanbul with technical issues.

After a request to run for an additional four hours on Sunday was denied, a compromise was reached with Haas permitted instead to extend its running time across Friday and Saturday to make up the time.

Confirming its plan, Haas revealed Kevin Magnussen will run for an extra hour on Friday evening, extending the session to 8pm local time, with the Dane also increasing the Saturday morning session by an hour.

On Saturday afternoon, Mick Schumacher will extend his track time by two hours.
