As GPblog previously reported, Sky Sports will only broadcast the final hour of the first Bahrain pre-season test from Wednesday to Friday.
After opening test was held in Barcelona behind closed doors, from 26 to 30 January, the season continues with pre-season testing in Bahrain. There will be limited coverage of the test, from 11 to 13 February.
As GPblog reported last month, only the final hour of these three days will be live on air from 15:00 to 16:00 GMT. The second set of three days, from 18 to 20 February, is expected to be broadcast in full.

Sky Sports' broadcast schedule also reveals that only the final hour of action will be live on its channel during the first couple of days in Bahrain.

Unlike the one in Barcelona, these tests are accessible to the media and the public. This means there will still be news from the Bahrain track, with photos and videos emerging throughout the day. However, fans wanting to watch live track action will have to wait for the final hour of each session.
Similarly to the Barcelona test, you can also follow every day with GPblog's liveblogs as well.
