Sergio Perez has set the fastest time of the day in 1’30”305. He is ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. Charles Leclerc, who had recorded the fastest time in the morning, is ultimately fourth ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz. Nyck de Vries is last with a time of 1’38”244.<\/p>\n

Reliability was still on point today. Besides Piastri’s spin and Bottas’ breakdown this morning, the day was rather calm. The teams fine-tuned their setups to gain performance without revealing too much. We’ll have to wait for Q3 to learn more about the actual performances of the 10 teams.<\/p>\n

As with every end of the session, the FIA continued to test its safety measures this afternoon with VSC and safety car trials, causing the cars to return to the pit lane under a red flag procedure. However, later in the evening, 6 drivers participated in a slipstreaming simulation to provide some excitement for the viewers at home.<\/p>\n

The next time their Formula 1 cars hit the track will be next Friday for the practice sessions of the first Grand Prix of the season at the same circuit, in Sakhir.<\/p>\n
