    Formula one driver Charles Leclerc has kept Ferrari top of the timesheets for the second day running, but champions Red Bull still look the team to beat as F1 wrapped up pre-season testing in Bahrain

    Formula one driver Charles Leclerc has kept Ferrari top of the timesheets for the second day running, but champions Red Bull still look the team to beat as F1 wrapped up pre-season testing in Bahrain


    Leclerc set the final day's best lap with Mercedes' George Russell fractionally slower...and while Red Bull's triple champion Max Verstappen was fourth fastest, he WAS on slower tyres.

    The final day of testing with the new cars was halted by a dislodged drain cover - the second such incident in as many days.

    The record 24-race season starts in Bahrain next week.
