The second free practice session is over and once again Max Verstappen finds himself on top of the timesheet. The Red Bull Racing driver was the fastest on the Bahrain International Circuit, just like earlier in the day. Lando Norris is the surprising number two on behalf of McLaren, while Lewis Hamilton is on P3.

It will undoubtedly be even quicker during the third free practice and qualifying sessions, but it is clear that Red Bull have a chance to fight for pole position. The same goes for McLaren. Bottas, the other Mercedes driver, was fifth on Friday afternoon. However, it looks like Mercedes still has something up its sleeve.
