F1 Testing Results: Bahrain timesheets as Lewis Hamilton goes MIA after unveiling new Ferrari trick
Lewis Hamilton’s second day of F1 testing at the Bahrain Grand Prix was interrupted by a lengthy delay due to debuting Ferrari’s new rear wing trick. The seven-time champion spent two and a half hours in the garage while the Ferrari team worked on his car after showcasing the rotational rear wing. Despite the delay, Hamilton managed to get back on track with only five laps completed before the session ended. Elsewhere, Max Verstappen returned to the RB22, setting the second fastest time, and Lando Norris topped the morning session with McLaren. Mercedes remained solid, practicing pit stops and showing overall success in their testing run-plan. The event raised questions as Ferrari took advantage of a 2026 ‘loophole’, shaping an intriguing start to the upcoming F1 season.
