The Spaniard set the best time on the soft tires (1’30”824), ahead of Fernando Alonso by 141 thousandths
Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari is ahead of everyone in the last free practice session of the Bahrain GP before qualifying. The Spaniard set the best time on the soft tires (1’30”824) ahead of Fernando Alonso by 141 thousandths.
This session was also marked by uncertainty and balance, Max Verstappen finished third by over 2 tenths: in terms of race pace he remains the reference, but the car is not yet completely in place. He continued to complain about the gearbox downshifts, while Perez was eighth ahead of Hulkenberg. Ferrari seems to be in good shape, Leclerc struggled a bit with the fourth time, but in a group with such narrow gaps the balance can change at any moment. Mercedes did not repeat the double on Thursday: Russell 6 better than Hamilton (12). In the middle are the McLarens who have never shone in Bahrain and this time too, according to Norris and Piastri, they don’t expect miracles. Horner meanwhile was leading the team, there is no official position from the FIA (the body that must enforce the rules) but the president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has viewed the email containing the chats with the employee and will discuss the case together with Stefano Sundays.
