Valtteri Bottas, in a Mercedes, set the best time at the end of the second day of Formula 1 testing in Bahrain in view of the start of the world championship, on March 28, again at the Sakhir circuit.
The Finnish driver closed the fastest lap in 1: 30.289, best time set between yesterday and today.
He is followed by the Frenchman Pierre Gasly on AlphaTauri (+124 thousandths) and by the Canadian Lance Stroll on Aston Martin (+171).
Fourth time for Lando Norris (McLaren, +297), and fifth for Antonio Giovinazzi with Alfa Romeo, almost half a second behind. Charles Leclerc's Ferrari occupies the sixth place in the chronometric classification, with a gap of about six tenths from Bottas, who set the best times in the very last laps of the long day. In the morning, Daniel Ricciardo was the best in McLaren, with 1: 32.215.
