Productive and trouble free second day of testing for Carlos Sainz in Bahrain

2023 Bahrain F1 Test Days, Day 2

  • Carlos Sainz covered another 70 laps around the Sakhir International Circuit without any single reliability issue in his Ferrari SF-23. Although lap-times were not significant, he led the morning session (when the track was slower) and his time was good enough to finish the day in sixth place.
  • The Ferrari race driver managed to improve his lap-times of the previous day after a single hour of practice. He was using the C3 compound when he set his fastest lap of the day (1:32.486).
  • Carlos feels good ahead of tomorrow, the final day of testing before next week’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
