Power Cut Halts Bahrain Testing on Day One
Pre-season testing in Bahrain faced an unexpected interruption on the opening day after a power cut temporarily stopped track action. The outage, which occurred at the Bahrain International Circuit, forced teams to halt their programs as technical systems and garage operations were affected.
The session had been running smoothly until the power failure disrupted proceedings. While teams worked to optimize their setups and gather crucial data ahead of the season opener, the outage led to an unforeseen delay. Officials at the circuit quickly worked to resolve the issue, ensuring that power was restored and running resumed.
Despite the disruption, several drivers had already completed significant laps before the stoppage. Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes were among the teams making early progress, with engineers focused on fine-tuning their cars for the new season. However, the loss of track time proved frustrating for some teams, especially those looking to maximize their limited testing window.
