SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) — AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly had the fastest time in Formula One pre-season testing on Thursday, where much focus was on the new-look Mercedes car and American team Haas missing the morning start after some of its equipment didn't arrive on time.
The first day of F1's final pre-season test began with a change of schedule for the Woking team as Daniel Ricciardo, who was due to run in the morning, did not feel well.
Pierre Gasly in an AlphaTauri topped the opening day of Formula One pre-season testing in Bahrain on Thursday with the Ferraris of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc filling out the top three. The three-day session is taking place at the same Sakhir circuit where the first race of the 2022 championship will be staged on March 20. Mercedes and Red Bull dominated the opening three-day test in Barcelona last month.
MANAMA : The Haas Formula One outfit have been denied permission to test on Sunday and will instead have to run longer hours over the three days of the final pre-season test in Bahrain to make up for lost time, team boss Guenther Steiner said on Thursday.
Mercedes are at the centre of a row over the legality of their car after introducing a radical new design at the second pre-season test.
AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly recorded the fastest time at Day 1 of testing at the Bahrain Grand Prix circuit. Bahrain will hold the season’s first event on March 20 after the postponement of the usual campaign-starter, the Australian Grand Prix.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has hinted that Ferrari could be the team to beat at the Bahrain Grand Prix next week in terms of qualifying, with him saying he hopes that his team can be close to the Scuderia in Q3.
Danish driver Kevin Magnussen said he had given up hope of a Formula One comeback until Haas team boss Guenther Steiner offered him the seat of sacked Russian Nikita Mazepin.
