Heading into the final day, that trend is set to continue for the final eight hours of testing. However, there are some exceptions to this.

Max Verstappen is set to drive all day for Red Bull on Friday, for example, with Liam Lawson having done so on Thursday, with the pair having split duties on Wednesday. Alex Albon is set to do the same for Williams.
