Teams kick off their second day of pre-season testing in Bahrain today, and everyone is keen to put as many laps on the board as possible, and especially Mercedes whose session was botched by a collection of issues that impact the reigning world champions.
Two drivers are likely to stand out today when they take to the track: Sergio Perez who makes his official debut with Red Bull Racing and Fernando Alonso who returns to the fray with Alpine after a two-year hiatus.
Williams was the only team to run its reserve driver on Friday, so Nicholas Latifi will take over FW43B today, with George Russell in action on Sunday.
Check out the full line-ups for Day 2 at Sakhir.
