LIVEBLOG | Second day of F1 winter test in Bahrain
The first day of winter testing went very smoothly on Thursday. Of course, the 2023 cars are evolutions of last year's cars, but nobody expected that there would be so few problems. Only Aston Martin had a problem in the morning, but even that team eventually got to 100 laps. Only McLaren drove fewer: 92.
Verstappen makes a great impression

For Mercedes and Williams, the drivers did come close together. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton together drove 152 laps and the men from Williams came to a total of 149 laps.
On Friday, the timesheet will also be looked at again. On Thursday, Verstappen also topped that, with a 1.32.837. Fernando Alonso came close but fell some three hundredths short. Don't miss anything from the second day of the winter test with the liveblog.
