Charles Leclerc finished fastest in the final morning session of F1 pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The Ferrari driver was under a tenth of a second quicker than Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli, with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen just behind.
Jack Doohan rounded out to top five of a session that was slower than the front-running pace seen on day two. Leclerc set a 1:30.811, with only the second and third fastest also under the 1:31 mark.
There was a strange red flag incident in the final hour of the session, but action soon got back underway in Bahrain.
Lance Stroll was unwell overnight, so Aston Martin put Fernando Alonso in the AMR25 for the morning. The Canadian will take his place for the afternoon.
Check out the full morning results from day three of F1 pre-season testing below.
