F1 Testing Results: Bahrain timesheets and laps as Ferrari in red-hot form

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc finished top of the timesheets on day two of F1 pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.

He finished with a best lap time of 1:34.273, over half a second faster than McLaren's world champion Lando Norris, who completed the most laps of anyone throughout the day with 149. In more good news for Ferrari, it was Haas' Ollie Bearman who rounded out the top three, with the Ferrari power unit in the back of his car getting 130 laps in the tank.

During the morning session in Bahrain, Red Bull's Isack Hadjar was not able to complete a single flying lap, while Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli did not set an official lap time, as both teams struggled with reliability issues.

Mercedes were understood to have had an engine problem, while Red Bull's issue was a hydraulic problem.

At the end of the morning session, Red Bull managed to return Hadjar to the racetrack where he completed an installation lap, before he then put in 87 laps during the afternoon session.

Antonelli did not return, however, with George Russell taking over in the afternoon session for Mercedes, finishing fourth in the day's order.

The morning session only saw one red flag, with Cadillac's Sergio Perez coming to a halt on track early on, while the afternoon session saw three red flags, one for some pieces falling off Valtteri Bottas' Cadillac, and another for a brief stoppage for Alpine's Pierre Gasly. The third one was a test late on by F1.
