Charles Leclerc finished the morning session of the first day of the second pre-season test in Bahrain at the top of the timesheet in his Ferrari.
Leclerc posted a lap of 1:33.739s, finishing 0.313s ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris and 0.419s clear of last week's pacesetter, Kimi Antonelli, in his Mercedes. Leclerc's time was 0.070s slower than the young Italian's best lap set on Friday.
Williams' Alex Albon and Alpine's Pierre Gasly completed the top five, albeit with the duo around two seconds adrift.
In terms of overall running, Racing Bulls' Arvid Lindblad completed the most laps with 75, followed by Leclerc [70] and Antonelli [69].
All 11 teams were on track across the four hours, although there were major issues for Red Bull and Aston Martin.
