Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton both endured a miserable evening at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Friday as they struggled to match the pace of the leading cars.

The FP2 session was topped by McLaren star Oscar Piastri with a 1:30.505, the Aussie's time 0.154 seconds quicker than his team-mate Lando Norris, who finished the session in second after topping FP1 earlier in the day.

For results from FP3 in Bahrain, please see here. Verstappen and Hamilton, though, could only manage P7 and P8, with duo trailing Piastri's time by 0.825 and 1.071 seconds, respectively.

The only silver lining for Hamilton is that there is pace to find in his Ferrari, with his team-mate Charles Leclerc only 0.540 seconds off Piastri in P4.

For Verstappen and Red Bull there is clearly work to do, however, with Yuki Tsunoda also enduring another difficult session, finishing down in P18 and over one and a half seconds off the session leader.
