Lewis Hamilton produced an encouraging view of the second morning preseason test test, while at the top of Shera for Ferrari in Bahrein.
Continuing the assimilation of the Italian team, which joined the Mercedes during the winter, Hamilton held a terrifying show about Pace while he repeatedly improved his time to finish four-tenths, beyond former teammate Silver Arrows George Russell.
In the hectic beginning of the morning session on the second day, Hamilton improved in the previous fastest time of the test, which set McLaren’s Lando Norris on Wednesday on Wednesday in what is usually considered more favorable evening conditions.
Hamilton then immediately took two dozen of his time to eclipse the best time of a circle from last year’s Bahrein test, and 1: 30.222, he also delivered to Ferrari, his teammate Charles Leclerca.
The reason for the unusual traffic trail in the early stages of the session soon became clear because some rare rain sakhir arrived at all but cleaned the path at the best of the clock.

Oscar Piastra and Nico Hulkenberg established contact coming to the turn of eight during the morning session of the first testing.
The trail began to increase again with the remaining sessions, and Carlos Sainz – was driving in both Williams sessions on Thursday – moving within a hundred seconds of the time at the time, using a harder compound of Hamilton tires.
The improvement of the trail confirmed a few moments later when Russell became the first driver to enter the 1-20’s, but Mercedes was only on top of the time list for a few seconds, as Hamilton better passed several tens.
With the remaining 45 minutes of the session, Hamilton once again returned to fresh tires for another performance, but actually blew his first attempt while running wide in the middle sector, improved in his previous best in the introductory part of the circle.
However, after interrupting the first round, he found enough in his tires to go faster two -tenths, with 1: 29,379, which was faster than Ferrari’s qualifying best here in Bahrein last year, and only 0.2 seventh of the 2024 time set by Max Verstappen.
While time reduced running across the board, Hamilton still managed to succeed in a healthy 45 rounds, and Russell is at the top of a mileage on 71 trips around the Bahrain International Circle.
Sky Sports F1 Karun Chandhok said: “Yesterday it looked like the front of the car was not exactly there for Lewis, but today it must have looked, while the circle improved and all went for a second faster, he had a car below him that could turn and manipulate the corner.
“I think it is an encouraging sign for him and his Legion of fans, who really want to succeed in Ferrari.”
In what was raining aside, it was mostly a routine session, the only main moment of drama came when McLaren’s Oscar Piastra collided with Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg in a strange incident.
Hulkenberg, not going to Full Tilt, was forward, went at eight, but Piastra loved to go and go inside, only McLaren ran deep and Sauber.
While the contact was easy, he damaged the front wing of McLaren, which needed a change. Hulkenberg seemed to avoid any damage to his car.
After seeing his teammate Norris Top on Wednesday, Piastra was only seventh, and McLaren’s morning program seemed to focus on performances.
Liam Lawson, who rides on Thursday for Red Bull before Verstappen, who did the same on Friday, was eighth and operated only 28 rounds – 12 less than the next lowest session.
