Last night day 2 of testing at Bahrain International Circuit got underway and let's get straight to the results & re-cap.
We opened with a Red Flag when Nico Rosberg's Mercedes stopped out on the circuit and had to be aken back to the pits to be worked on. The Mercedes crew put up screens around the garage to shield people from seeing what they were doing. Once it was Green Flag, things started out slow, other than Jean-Eric Vergne getting out there and completing a double-figure amount of laps for the Toro Rosso team.
Eventually, Day 1's fastest driver, Nico Hulkenberg was sent out to do some laps in the Force India, but after the 8 hour session was over, he was beat by McLaren's Kevin Magnussen, who stole fastest time with a 1:34s, pushing Nico to the second fastest spot.
We had a few more red flags during the session, when Vergne's car stopped and a bit later, it was Esteban's Sauber that also stopped and the Cherry Picker came out to return the car to the pits.
Other than that, another good day of running for all 11 teams, as they all set times this time, and here they are!
