Arvid Lindblad topped the lap charts in the final 2026 F1 pre-season test for Racing Bulls, with a mammoth final day of 165 laps.

The rookie added those to the 75 laps he completed on Wednesday afternoon to create a tally of 240 laps for the test, eclipsing the 235 laps from George Russell of Mercedes.

In contrast, Lance Stroll completed just 30 laps in total across the three days for Aston Martin as various engine gremlins ruined his running.
