Bahrain Testing Day 3 - Re-Cap

Day 4 of testing in Bahrain will be underway in an hour and it's time for a Re-Cap of Day 3!
We had some different drivers out on track and some action as well. Multiple cars stopped including Chilton and Maldonado - Causing red flags. There was actually quite a bit of smoke and possibly I heard there was fire from Chilton's car and there's some photos of him jumping out of the car!

There was quite a delay in getting the Force India out for Perez and in turn, he did not get to complete as many laps as anyone else. Williams had both Bottas and Massa in the car for the session, with Bottas mostl doing pit-stop practice all morning before the car got turned over to Massa for the afternoon. 

Here are the times.

Fastest Times: 

1. Lewis Hamilton - 1:34.263 / Mercedes
2. Jenson Button - 1:34.976 / McLaren
3. Felipe Massa - 1:37.066 / Williams

Bahrain Testing Day 1 - Re-Cap.

Thanks to all who joined me last night on Twitter for my live commentary of Day 1 at Bahrain International Circuit! Here's a quick re-cap of what happened. Also, I'm live right now on Twitter for Day 2 and also chatting on Autosport.com in the live Forum Chat under Day 2 of Bahrain testing.

Re-Cap: Day 1 at Bahrain International Circuit started out with a few woes as the session was delayed while waiting for enough Marshalls to be around the circuit and then Fernando Alonso's Ferrari stopped out on track, before he was able to bring it back to the garage. Redbull had to delay their run as well as Toro Rosso, with theirs being due to some sort of oil leaks. Sutil in the Sauber also stopped on the circuit, and had be to removed and taken back to the pits. Other than that, things ran pretty smoothly and here are your times!

Fastest Times:

1. Nico Hulkenberg - 1:36.880 / Force India.
2. Fernando Alonso - 1:37.879/ Ferari.
3. Lewis Hamilton - 1:37.908 / Mercedes.
4. Kevin Magnussen - 1:38.295 / McLaren.
5. Sebastian Vettel - 1:40.224 / Redbull.
6. Adrian Sutil - 1:40.443 / Sauber.
7. Robin Frijns - 1:42.534 / Caterham.
8. Danill Kvyat - 1:44.346 / Toro Rosso.
9. Romain Grosjean - 1:44.832 / Lotus.
10. Felipe Massa - No Time Set / Williams.
11. Jules Bianchi - No Time Set / Marussia.
