The first race of the 2023 Formula One season gets underway in Bahrain on March 5.
In what should be an exciting curtain raising race given how little we know about the team’s cars in terms of strengths, weaknesses and reliability for the 2023 campaign, the action starts with FP1 and FP2 on Friday March 3.
We’ll also see newcomers Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant make their competitive debuts in the sport for McLaren and Williams respectively, as well as plenty of well-known faces making their first starts for their new teams.
For everything you need to know this weekend in terms of session times, TV coverage and streaming services, The Sporting News has you covered.
