Leclerc sets morning pace on Day 2 of Bahrain test

Charles Leclerc led the second morning of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain, setting the quickest time ahead of Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly. The session saw an early red flag when Sergio Perez's car stopped, though running quickly resumed. Red Bull's Isack Hadjar experienced issues, delaying his track time, while Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli also had a quiet morning. Despite a late pit lane stoppage, Norris completed the most laps. Leclerc's 1m 34.273s remained unchallenged, placing him over half a second clear of Norris, who secured P2, with Gasly P3. Teams focused on gaining further mileage ahead of the afternoon session.
