Heeeeere's Fernando! The #14 returns to the track and...goes into the pits. Never mind.
Stopwatch
There's Hamilton with a 1m39.422s, going quickest for now.
Stopwatch
Latifi sets our first time, a 1m53.696s. Which, you know, is a very slow time.
The Mercedes is dressed to the nines in aero rakes, still with work to do after a disappointing Friday. Hamilton's piloting the W12.
The #9 car, Sainz, Giovinazzi and Tsunoda are also on track.
Green flag
We're green! Ricciardo and Latifi are first on the road.
We'll also get our first chance to see Perez in the Red Bull today - so Checo that out when you get a chance...
Here's this morning's lineup:
Mercedes: Hamilton
Red Bull: Perez
McLaren: Ricciardo
Aston Martin: Vettel
Alpine: Alonso
Ferrari: Sainz
AlphaTauri: Tsunoda
Alfa Romeo: Giovinazzi
Haas: Mazepin
Williams: Latifi
After two full years away from F1, Fernando Alonso is back in the saddle for Alpine. His helmet, a throwback to his 2005/6 design, is great.
Breaking news
Plenty to talk about after yesterday's opening day - and not just the sandstorm! After a gearbox problem, Mercedes admitted it is 'quite a way behind' on its plans: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mercedes-quite-a-way-behind-f1-test-programme-after-setbacks/5700115/
Lights green
Good morning everyone! It's day 2 of F1's pre-season test at Bahrain, and we're ready and raring to go. Grab a coffee, sit back, and indulge in all the testing action.
