F1 teams have been left to make final preparations for the Bahrain Grand Prix after the second pre-season test came to a close on Saturday.

After the opening test in Barcelona, teams and drivers made the most of a further three days in hot conditions in Bahrain to confirm a number of issues and discover others.

With Daniel Ricciardo failing to take part in the test after contracting Covid-19, Lando Norris completed the entirety of the running for McLaren which somewhat skews the lap count despite recurring brake problems for the team.

A few incidents aside, reliability was again surprisingly strong throughout as the teams appeared to quickly get to grips with the latest set of regulations.

GPFans has collated the driver's best lap time of the week, as well as total laps for each driver and team.
