Charles Leclerc goes on an early lunch break after his Ferrari broke down during a run at the Bahrain circuit. What the problem is with Ferrari is unclear at this point.

Red flag in Bahrain

The first red flag of the winter test in Bahrain is a fact. Charles Leclerc came to a standstill with his new SF21 during his run at the Bahrain circuit. It's not the first team with problems, as Mercedes, Haas and Aston Martin were each in for a period due to problems, and Daniel Ricciardo 's good run was also temporarily interrupted.
However, Leclerc is the first driver to fall silent on track this winter test, with what appeared to be a technical or mechanical problem with the Ferrari. The Monegasque can make his way back to the garage. He can take a break, and it is to be hoped for Carlos Sainz that he can return to action in the afternoon.
