2024 Pre-Season Testing - Bahrain International Circuit, Feb 21 - 23

[mzso]

Perez gets all day today and they'll share tomorrow instead. Didn't want Max to have an extra hour and Perez 1 fewer

How do you know they won't give more time to Perez tomorrow?

RB themselves said they'll share tomorrow. Max will get tomorrow afternoon according to current reports

That doesn't mean Perez won't drive an hour more, or such.

They've adjusted today's afternoon session to be 1hr longer to compensate for the morning's 1hr shorter. If Max had run this afternoon as planned then Perez's would've ended up short. This way they will be equal on track time

Leclerc’s fastest lap came quite early in the morning and it looked quite fast too!

If we could compare the conditions between early in the morning and early in the afternoon when Max did his best time yesterday…which condition is more favorable for lap time??

The circuit is much more rubbered in today.

How so? Max did his late in the day yesterday and Leclerc early morning next day. Rubbered track is not factor here, however wind and temps can be.

Johnny Herbert and Mika raced with Hud on the Lotus...

Any photos or videos of this?

More of a performance run their from Hamilton. He was carrying a noticeable amount of speed and aggression through T4.

The W15 has looked quite unstable today imo... also Leclerc's mini stint deg wise looked pretty decent given the conditions.

It appears that the race run that Perez is on, is no different than the one he had on the second day of testing last year with lap times almost similar. Similar on first stint of C3 and similar so far on C2 for his second stint.

The c1 stint is a lot faster? But rest the same pace it seems

Good point. (That I missed...)

That data makes me feel, this car gets faster than the previous one as it goes lower on fuel. Indicating it has moved towards better qualifying performance?

Little glory run for Sainz

Ferrari glory runs? Wasn't on my cards

Ferrari glory runs? Wasn't on my cards

Why glory run? Fastest lap last year was a 1:30.3 from Perez. It’s testing.

[SoulPancake13]

What happened w Checo there?

[Vanja #66]

Ferrari glory runs? Wasn't on my cards

If he proceeds to stint simulation on those same tyres, it's not really a glory run... Both Sainz and Leclerc were 1s faster on C3 today than last year Day 2, about the same thing that Max demonstrated yesterday. Nothing spectacular so far from Ferrari, just decent.

Excellent times on C3 from Norris, McLaren gonna have a very strong start of the season.

Ferrari have looked stronger though.
