Mercedes continued where it left off from last week's first test in Bahrain by finishing the opening day of the second and final test with the leading time.
Kimi Antonelli and George Russell concluded the three days at the Bahrain International Circuit with the headline times, and it was the British driver who was quickest on day one of this week's test.
Russell posted a lap of 1:33.459s, two-tenths of a second faster than Antonelli's best from Friday. McLaren's Oscar Piastri was second quickest, just 0.010s adrift.
Russell also completed the most laps [76], followed by Racing Bull's Arvid Lindblad with 75.
