F1 Testing Results: Verstappen leads as teams debut 2024 cars
Max Verstappen topped the time sheets in Bahrain when the first day of pre-season testing concluded, an ominous sign for the rest of the grid ahead of the upcoming season.
The defending world champion completed a total of 142 laps in Sakhir, setting a quickest time of 1:31.344.
Both sessions were fairly free of incidents, though in the morning Alex Albon pulled to the side of the track in sector one to bring out the first yellow flag of the season with a reliability issue with just over twenty minutes to go.
There were further Williams issues in the afternoon as Logan Sargeant took a dramatic spin at Turn 9 and narrowly avoided a collision with a trackside barrier.

VCARB's Daniel Ricciardo sat fourth, with Alpine's Pierre Gasly fifth.
The next F1 testing session gets underway on Thursday morning and is set to begin at 2am ET.
