Red Bull driver Sergio Perez's brakes were briefly on fire on the second day of testing in Bahrain. Red Bull mechanics were busy tinkering with the brand-new RB20 to fix the problems.

"The problem area is actually the front right," Ted Kravitz explained to Sky Sports. "The front left is okay, and actually, as we move round to the front left, it gives us an opportunity to actually appreciate how amazingly sculpted these brake callipers are," the analyst explained.

Before Red Bull could return to the track after the fire, quite a few corrections had to be made by the Austrian constructor's mechanics. On Thursday morning, Perez will be behind the wheel of the RB20, while Max Verstappen will take a seat in the car in the afternoon. Verstappen already impressed with his times on the first day.
