Ferrari stretch Bahrain pace as Aston Martin struggle steals the show
Ferrari led the final day of Bahrain pre-season testing, with Leclerc delivering the fastest times and the Ferrari squad racking up heavy mileage (Leclerc around 132 laps, Sainz 141) as rookie Lindblad also posted massive run totals. Bearman briefly cracked the top five, while Aston Martin endured another tough session with Lance Stroll limited to few laps and Honda/Cadillac issues surfacing. The day featured several red flags and a reminder that testing times don’t guarantee race pace, but Ferrari exit Bahrain in strong spirits ahead of the season.
