Mercedes edges McLaren by 0.01s as Bahrain F1 pre-season test flags four teams’ issues

George Russell set the fastest Bahrain pre-season lap so far at 1:33.459, just 0.010s ahead of Oscar Piastri as Mercedes beat McLaren on Day 4. Charles Leclerc led Ferrari’s early times but the day wasn’t trouble-free for the Scuderia; Lewis Hamilton spent substantial track time in the garage, Aston Martin endured a power-unit fault and a red-flag incident limiting it to 54 laps, and Cadillac battled sensor issues. The midfield remained well off the pace, underscoring the gap to the top teams while the top two squads traded lap times.

Ferrari’s Leclerc and Hamilton combined for 123 laps in wet conditions, focusing on system checks rather than outright pace as F1’s new chassis, engines, tyres and fuel rules place a greater emphasis on hybrid energy management, with Ferrari aiming to build mileage and assess competitiveness after a tough 2025.

McLaren lines up simulator as secret weapon for 2026 F1 energy duel

McLaren says its 'most powerful tool' for the 2026 season is the simulator, used to brief drivers on how to intelligently deploy a boosted 350kW battery (with a 50-50 split with the ICE) and manage energy across the lap, enabling a more tactical 'cat-and-mouse' battle with rivals under the sport's new rules; the team also continues with Mercedes HPP engines as regulations shift toward greater electrical power and sustainability.
