All you need to know about the three-day 2023 Formula One pre-season test in Bahrain, with reaction from Fernando Alonso and Team Principal Mike Krack following a productive second day in the desert.


Preparations for the new F1 season move up a gear this week with pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
With little more than a week until the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on 5 March and the AMR23 being a significant evolution of its predecessor, the three-day test is a chance for us to learn about our new challenger and put it through its paces. Here's everything you need to know…

130 laps

"It was a good day for us with a lot of laps completed – just what you need in a new car. We had a busy programme and tried a lot of different things. After a long winter it is good to get strong mileage under your belt early on and there is no better training than driving a Formula One car." After completing 130 laps, Fernando reflects on another productive day in the AMR23 which saw him record his quickest lap towards the end of the evening's running.
"I now feel fitter and sharper ahead of next week, which will be my first race with Aston Martin and I am very excited about that. I have another half day tomorrow so we will use this to continue learning and collecting as much data as possible. I am looking forward to getting back in the car tomorrow afternoon." The Spaniard will have one more chance to add to his tally of laps before testing draws to a close, when he takes over from Felipe for the afternoon session on Saturday.

"We are pleased with the progress we have made during our second day of pre-season testing. Fernando completed 130 laps, allowing us to run through our full test plan and gather further valuable data." Team Principal Mike Krack evaluates today's running, which was completed without any major interruptions for the team.

"We are continuing to get to know Fernando's driving style and what he wants from the car, but his feedback has been incredibly constructive and the changes we implemented overnight were received well." With a new driver comes a new driving style to consider. Mike explains how Fernando's vast experience is helping drive the car and team forward.

"It is very difficult to make predictions on competitiveness based on a few days of testing because we have the full range of tyres available, different fuel levels and so many other variables to consider. We are just focussing on ourselves, preparing as much as we can, and getting through the job list." Due to the range of variables, it is always tough to read too much into testing. As Mike explains, the times are not the important thing to take away from this week of running.

"It will be next week after qualifying when we get a much clearer picture of how competitive we are. For our third and final testing day, we are pleased to have Felipe returning to the AMR23 during the morning session, with Fernando taking over in the afternoon." Mike explains the plan of action for Saturday's running, with Felipe getting a second go in the car in place of the injured Lance.
