Carlos Sainz fastest on second day

Carlos Sainz topped the timesheet for his new Williams team on the second day of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain.

The Spaniard’s best lap came early in the afternoon as he dislodged morning pacesetter Lewis Hamilton, and his Ferrari replacement, from the top of the times with a 1m29.348s.

Sainz pipped the seven-time world champion by just 0.031s and completed 127 laps as he spent a full day behind the wheel of the FW47.

Charles Leclerc was third quickest when he took over the Ferrari from Hamilton in the afternoon. 

The Mercedes pair of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli were fourth and fifth, ahead of Aston Martin's Lance Stroll. 

Liam Lawson was seventh for Red Bull on his final day of running, with Max Verstappen returning to the cockpit of the RB21 on Friday to round out testing. 

Alpine duo Jack Doohan and Pierre Gasly, along with Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar, completed the top-10.
