F1 Testing Results: Red Bull BEATEN as rivals unleash searing day two pace
Outgoing Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz set the timing sheets alight on day two of testing, putting in a lap time good enough to put him ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez in Bahrain.
The afternoon session was extended following the cancellation of day two's morning session, meaning Formula 1 fans were treated to over five hours of on-track action at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Day two's red flag was caused by yet more drain cover drama, as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton ran over and destroyed a cover on turn 11, with Ferrari having to use a spare floor on their car ahead of the afternoon.

Sainz took over from Leclerc in the SF-24, and managed to show the first real signs of Ferrari's true pace ahead of the upcoming 2024 season.
Sainz set the fastest time of 1:29:921, with the Red Bull of Sergio Perez finishing second after taking over from Max Verstappen on day two in Bahrain.
