Mercedes was the most productive team during the second day of pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The Brackley-based squad, who enter the upcoming campaign with rookie Kimi Antonelli, clocked 158 laps during the day.
Carlos Sainz easily set the most lap times during the day from a driver, as he was just one of two competitors who completed the entire day behind the wheel.
Liam Lawson also had the entire day with Red Bull, however a water pressure issue kept him sidelined for much of the morning session.
His limited running in the morning hurt Red Bull's total mileage, as the squad ended the day with the fewest total laps.
