If you missed the first day of 2026 F1 Bahrain Testing, don’t worry — this episode of the All Motorsports Podcast breaks down everything that actually matters.
This isn’t about lap times.
It’s about which Formula 1 teams look ready… and which teams may already be chasing.
In this episode, we analyse the biggest technical and performance signals from Day 1 of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain — including reliability runs, energy deployment behaviour under the new 2026 regulations, and why some teams look far more prepared than others heading into the new season.
We also reveal why the first five races of the 2026 Formula 1 season may already be tilting — before a single race has even begun.
If you’re an F1 fan who loves the sport but doesn’t have time to follow every testing session, technical update, and regulation change — this podcast is your shortcut to staying ahead.
🎙️ The All Motorsports Podcast delivers clear, intelligent Formula 1 analysis without the noise.
