ALONSO, 1:33.278
And with a slight correction in the first sector. Fernando, second after Sainz… The two Spaniards lead the times with more than an hour of testing.
SAINZ, IN THE HEAD!
Record after record in all sectors to improve Ferrari’s best time… and also those of Verstappen and Alonso! 1:32.653 for Sainz.
TWELVE FOR ALONSO; TEN FOR SAINZ
Fernando has done twelve laps in this first hour of testing. Carlos Sainz, ten. The one with the most, Ocon with 14.
ALONSO GOES OUT ON THE TRACK
Fernando set the time again with two sectors in green and one in yellow. Alonso is going to test a lot today in terms of aerodynamics and long run.
PARAFFIN IN THE RED BULL
Sergio Pérez rolls with the red tire, and with paint on his car to test aerodynamic elements.
ALONSO, IN THE GARAGE
It has a new flat bottom Fernando after the one he was wearing was loaded yesterday with a rough event in the pits. They are touching the seat a bit, and today he will have a long run plan as Antonio Lobato tells.
THE FERRARI PLAN
Lobato has revealed what Carlos Sainz’s mission will be this morning. The man from Madrid will test the ‘porpoising’ of the car, which Charles Leclerc suffered and not exactly a little, and also how the car behaves in a fast corner.
SAINZ JOINS THE ‘PARTY’
Carlos goes back to the track to add more and more kilometers for Ferrari. Sainz will be in the morning with the red car.
ALONSO, AFTER MAGNUSSEN
1:35.943 for Fernando, with a yellow tyre. Today he has the whole day to himself, to ride, to test the pace of the race…
ALONSO GOES OUT ON THE ASPHALT AGAIN!
Fernando returns to the track with the Aston Martin. Painting the first sector green.
HAMILTON, ON TRACK
Inside Norris and Sargeant, and right now there are Lewis, Sargeant and Magnussen on the asphalt in Bahrain. The two Spaniards are still in the garage.
MAGNUSSEN, THE BEST HAAS
The Dane has improved yesterday’s time and is positioned as the fastest in the morning, with a time of 1:33.710. Alonso and Sainz are still in the garage, with Magnussen, Norris and Sargeant, one of the rookies this year, on the track.
WITH ABOUT 20 MINUTES DISPUTED…
Carlos Sainz leads the time table among the few who have set the time. The Spanish, 1:37.248.
PÉREZ TAKES OVER FROM VERSTAPPEN
Good pang of laps was given yesterday by Max Verstappen with Red Bull. Today, for the moment, it is Pérez who is in the car of the world champions. After what was seen on the first day, it seems that they will be, as expected, the rival to beat again this season.
ALONSO AND SAINZ, TO THE GARAGE
Fernando and Carlos have already completed their installation lap without problems and have gone to the pits. We will see what test program the two Spaniards have after the good feelings yesterday in Bahrain
PANELS FOR EVERYONE
Fernando Alonso, among others, has come out with some panels on his Aston Martin to check aerodynamic data. The same with Mercedes, with Hamilton on the track.
ALONSO WANTS TO CONTINUE STRONG
After a tense morning at Aston Martin, due to Drugovich’s red flag, and an afternoon that started off rough for Alonso, Fernando set the second best time of the day, just a few thousandths behind Verstappen. Had it not been for a slight error in the third sector, the Spaniard would have been the fastest on Day 1.
THE TESTS BEGIN!!!
Fernando Alonso, the first to hit the Sakhir track. The Asturian is in a hurry… and so is Sainz, who is already on the asphalt with the Ferrari.
SAINZ, IN THE MORNING
Carlos Sainz will get into the Ferrari on the morning of the test. Yesterday, on the first day, he did the same, being the first to put the Ferrari on the track.
ALONSO, ALL DAY FOR HIM
Fernando Alonso will be up all day in the Aston Martin. Given the loss of Lance Stroll, and after Drugovich got into the car yesterday, this time it will be everything for the Spaniard.
GOOD MORNING!!!
