Ferrari’s Bahrain aero upgrade branded uncopyable by F1 rivals

RacingNews365 reports Ferrari’s Bahrain pre-season test featured a heavily upgraded SF‑26 aero package, including a rear‑exhaust flow device (FTM) and a gearbox redesigned to allow a cantilevered rear aero within the 60mm overhang limit; analysts say this regulatory constraint makes the upgrade effectively uncopyable for rivals, with Ferrari also showing a dramatic inverted rear‑wing in the same test.

Bahrain Test Keeps F1’s Front-Runners Honest as Aston Martin Struggles

F1’s second 2026 preseason test in Bahrain kept the familiar ‘big four’ in play, with Mercedes fastest in the final session and Red Bull’s new engine delivering strong reliability; Cadillac and Audi logged solid mileage but aren’t expected to contend for front spots yet. Williams showed improvement while Aston Martin’s AMR26 underwhelmed, leaving the team with pace and mileage concerns. Drivers are adapting to the new cars’ quirks, including unusual low-gear starts and turbo spool timing, and McLaren urged changes to the start and overtaking rules on safety grounds ahead of Australia, with a broader F1 Commission discussion looming.

F1 2026 pre-season testing: teams log heavy mileage ahead of season

Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull and Cadillac ran the first 2026 pre-season tests, with Hamilton and Leclerc combining for 170 laps as teams focus on mileage and tyre understanding under the new rules. Piastri’s McLaren day ended early due to a fuel-system issue after 48 laps, while Mercedes’ George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posted the fastest times and clocked 168 laps on their final day; Red Bull were delayed awaiting spare parts. Two more Bahrain tests run 11-13 and 18-20 February precede the season-opening Australian GP, with officials noting that lap times aren’t directly comparable due to different programmes.

"Uncovering Ancient Malaria Resistance in Eastern Arabian DNA"

A new DNA study of ancient Eastern Arabians, specifically individuals from Tylos-period Bahrain, has revealed the presence of the malaria-protective G6PD Mediterranean mutation in their genetic makeup, suggesting an adaptation to malaria following the onset of agriculture in the region around five thousand years ago. The study, which provides unprecedented insights into human history and disease progression in the region, also sheds light on the genetic ancestry of the pre-Islamic inhabitants of Bahrain and their interactions with neighboring regions.
