The final day of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain was halted by a red flag early on after yesterday's loose drain cover opted to once again wreak havoc on proceedings. But overall, teams managed to complete most of their programmes.

It's now time for engineers to sift through the terabytes of collected data to prepare for next week's season-opening round at Sakhir. Here is our final selection of pictures from Friday's action.
