Ferrari: no public team radio messages during 2024 F1 pre-season Bahrain tests. Ferrari has decided not to broadcast any team radio messages in Bahrain F1 testing.

Ferrari has decided not to broadcast any team radio communications on TV during the three-day F1 tests in Bahrain.

We are accustomed to listening to communications between drivers and the pit wall during on-track activities, but there will be an exception at the beginning of this season. Ferrari has indeed chosen not to air any team radio during the three-day F1 tests in Bahrain.

It’s a peculiar choice by the Scuderia, which will continue to share communications with the Federation and other teams as required by regulations. Simply put, the team led by Frederic Vasseur seems to have imposed a veto regarding television broadcasts.

The reason behind this decision by the Italian team is not clear. Probably, the intention is to limit comments as much as possible regarding the work program during these three days of testing leading up to the first race of 2024.

Around Ferrari, there is always a lot of curiosity from the press and fans, given that the Scuderia represents the most iconic team in the history of Formula 1. It’s likely that Fred Vasseur wants to minimize media pressure while waiting to understand the true potential of the newly born SF-24.

The new Ferrari-branded single-seater has already attracted attention. Criticisms have come from England, describing it as “a car one year behind the others.” We must now wait for the end of the tests to confirm or refute rumors about the performance of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz’s car.
