Formula 1 is finally back, as all the 10 teams are in Bahrain, where the first Grand Prix of 2021 will be held. However, that event is still two weeks away. They are here for a different event, and that is for the official 2021 F1 tests.

All twenty drivers named to drive this season will get their due slots to test the cars on the track across the three-day-long event in Bahrain, a cropped version of every year’s conventional eight-day-long session.

On Thursday, Formula 1’s official social media handle released the table of how every team has decided to manage their test sessions, and there are stark differences laid by the teams suiting their interests.
