F1 Testing Results: Bahrain timesheets as Lewis Hamilton stars for Ferrari
“The morning testing session on day three at the Bahrain International Circuit saw Ferrari once again shine, with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton finishing second on the timesheet. Mercedes’ George Russell topped the session after an underwhelming pre-season test, just three tenths quicker than Hamilton. Max Verstappen rounded out the top three, 1.4 seconds behind Russell.
Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson put in the most laps with 84, while McLaren struggled with Piastri finishing fifth, almost 2.5 seconds off Russell’s pace. Friday is the final day of testing in Bahrain, teams are pushing for more laps.
The session’s only red flag was due to Valtteri Bottas stopping on track in his Cadillac. Bottas managed to resume with 37 laps completed. The lineup for Friday’s testing includes drivers like Hamilton, Russell, and Verstappen among others across different teams.”
