FIA adjusts final test day Bahrain schedule after red flag

The FIA has adjusted the timetable for the final day of testing in Bahrain after a red flag was raised early in the morning session. Sergio Perez drove off the drain of a kerbstone in exactly the same spot as Charles Leclerc did one day earlier. The lunch break will be scrapped, so there will be one run-through until 16:00 GMT.

Perez would finish the morning session on behalf of Red Bull, while Max Verstappen would take care of the afternoon session. Not only at Red Bull but also at other teams, this is often the case. So, it becomes fairly non-committal when the drivers switch, which is interesting to keep an eye on, as there is no break now.

SESSION UPDATE

Track repairs are ongoing down at Turn 11

When the session resumes (Estimated to be at 11:45 local time) it will run continuously until 19:00 with no break#F1Testing #F1 pic.twitter.com/SecdIgGw90
