Catch the action from Day 3 of the second Bahrain test

The final day of 2026 pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit concluded with Charles Leclerc leading the pack. The Ferrari driver posted an impressive 1m 31.992s during an evening run under floodlights, securing the fastest time of the day. His stellar performance placed him eight-tenths clear of McLaren's Lando Norris and 1.1 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, hinting at Ferrari's strong potential for the upcoming season. However, Aston Martin continued to struggle with reliability issues alongside new power unit partner Honda, limiting Lance Stroll to a mere six untimed laps. This ongoing challenge for Aston Martin contrasts sharply with the top teams' promising displays as teams now prepare for the season opener.
