Liam Lawson’s running at the Bahrain International Circuit was curtailed by an issue with his Red Bull RB21.
On the second day of F1 pre-season testing, Red Bull’s morning session was cut short due to engine water pressure loss, forcing Liam Lawson to only complete 28 laps in the first four hours at the Bahrain International Circuit. The team decided to stop the running before lunch, indicating a potential power unit issue that could impact the afternoon session. Despite the setbacks, Lawson managed to finish eighth fastest amidst a brief spell of rain that further disrupted the testing schedule. There are doubts whether the engine problem will be fixed in time for the afternoon session, where Max Verstappen is set to take over the RB21 for the final day of running in Bahrain.
