As quickly as it started, the final day of F1 testing in Bahrain is underway – here are the latest results.

The third day of F1 testing in Bahrain has already rolled around and, following a disruption of Thursday’s running due to a loose drain cover, the same thing happened on Friday.

Sergio Perez caught a loose cover on the run down to Turn 11, which prompted red flags and a significant stoppage that brought all the cars back into their respective garages.

This was an unwelcome halt to the running that had taken place, with marshals and circuit officials having worked apace to get the drain cover bolted back to the surface quickly.

As a result, following the delay, no lunch hour will be held – the cars will circulate non-stop until 7pm local time [4pm GMT].
