Lando Norris topped the timesheets on the opening day of the first Bahrain test, but Day 2 represents another eight hours of opportunity.
Max Verstappen completed 136 laps for Red Bull on Wednesday in what was a hugely impressive display, while Aston Martin failed to surpass 40 laps.
The opening day saw issues for several teams, with the hot temperatures of Bahrain creating very different conditions compared to the official five-day shakedown last month in Barcelona.
Racing Bulls will be looking to gather significant data after losing a lot of time yesterday, caused by a leak in its Red Bull Powertrains engine.
Unlike in the shakedown test, live timing is available this week, which you can find on RacingNews365's live blog!
Below, you can follow all the live action from the first day of testing, complete with live timing!
