F1 testing: Confirmed day three driver line-ups
Daniel Ricciardo again misses out
F1 pre-season testing comes to a close in Bahrain on Saturday, a week before the first qualifying session of the year gets underway.
Kevin Magnussen finished Friday fastest for Haas after going three-tenths of a second faster than Ferrari's Carlos Sainz during the team's extra hour of allocated running in an attempt to catch up on time lost during Thursday morning.
The three-day event is the final chance for teams to hone in on optimum configurations ahead of the first race of the year at the same venue next weekend.
McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo again sits out the sessions after testing positive for Covid-19 but due to local protocols will be able to take part in next weekend's race.
