On the final day of pre-season testing in Bahrain, George Russell set the fastest time, only 0.021s ahead of Max Verstappen, while Ferrari faced an early end due to car problems. Lewis Hamilton’s race simulation was cut short with only 47 laps completed before car issues arose, missing out on the final hour’s busy action. Max Verstappen had topped the timesheets prior, managing 81 laps with a new Red Bull nose, despite not completing a race simulation. Alex Albon impressed with the third-fastest time at Williams, concluding a promising week for the team, surpassing teammate Carlos Sainz’s earlier top lap time. Unexpected delays, including a pane of glass falling on the track and a bus crossing the run-off area, added some drama, with various teams dealing with issues throughout the afternoon session.
