Results from practice at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Round 1 of the 2024 F1 world championship.
Due to the holy month of Ramadan, the first practice sessions are taking place on Thursday, with the races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia scheduled for Saturday.
The more representative second session was an interesting one with Mercedes leading a 1-2 - Lewis Hamilton setting the pace from George Russell. Red Bull appear to have a clear advantage on heavy fuel though with Max Verstappen consistently quick during the latter part of FP2.With the first practice session taking place during the day, the running - and lap times - are ultimately unrepresentative given that qualifying and race occur under the floodlights.
It was Daniel Ricciardo who topped the timesheets in FP1, although the Australian was just one of four drivers to use the soft tyre. He was less than a tenth ahead of former McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Oscar Piastri and Yuki Tsunoda completed the top four in first practice.Why F1 2024 is starting with two consecutive Saturday races
