Lewis Hamilton had driven in the morning, giving very good feelings on the fastest lap, but he was not the one who had the best time after the second day of F1 testing in Bahrain.
The leader on the track was surprisingly Carlos Sainz, who is standing above the Ferrari in his Williams. With a time of 1.29.348, the Spaniard sees himself ahead of Hamilton (+0.031) and Leclerc (+0.083).
Good signs from Kimi Antonelli with Mercedes, while Lando Norris is monstrous on the track, with an excellent performance from McLaren, which throws the candidacy for the championship title by intimidating its rivals.
After Carlos Sainz come the Ferraris of Hamilton and Leclerc, then the Mercedes of Russell and Kimi Antonelli complete the top 5. Also in the 10 fastest cars are Lance Stroll's Aston Martin, Lawson's Red Bull, Doohan and Gasly with Alpine and Hadjar with Racing Bulls, who precedes Alonso.
While other teams were focusing on single laps and high-fuel simulations, McLaren tried to show strength with Norris' times scaring the competition.
Ferrari seems to have a balanced car and is up there on the fastest lap while McLaren, at the moment, has the best pace of the race. (A2 Televizion)
