Sunday was the last day of the pre-season test in Bahrain. The starting point for the teams was to drive as many kilometres as possible to collect the maximum amount of data. Which teams did this best?

Red Bull Racing did a lot of laps in the test without encountering any major problems. The only drama occurred when Perez had his engine cover blown off. They managed to do a total of 369 laps. However, it was AlphaTauri, together with Alfa Romeo, who drove the highest number of laps. They lead the list with 422 laps each.

At the bottom is Mercedes. Unlike other years, the team was plagued with problems, so they completed the lowest number of laps of anyone with only 304 laps. Aston Martin also did not cover as many miles as hoped with 314 laps. Sebastian Vettel was stationary in the garage for much of the afternoon session on Sunday.
