Bahrain GP: Free Practice 3 - Re-Cap & Times



BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX - FREE PRACTICE #3

It was both Ferrari drivers on top in this session, with Sebastian Vettel taking the top spot while team-mate, Kimi Raikkonen, followed closely in 2nd. The two Mercedes drivers were right behind in 3rd and 4th. Rounding up the top 5 was Valtteri Bottas in the Williams.

Williams tested out a new nose that was flown in overnight. However, there was only one so Massa was the only one to test it out.

A couple of mechanical issues for some of the drivers in this session. Vandoorne was side-lined for a bit with and oil leak but was still able to get out at the end of the session. Verstappen reported something with the engine of his car, which turned out to be a battery issue. Sainz ended the session with a tyre puncture. Not the best session for Toro Rosso but overall, they still managed some good times.
