World champion Max Verstappen will not be in action on Day 2 of F1 pre-season testing in Bahrain as team-mate Liam Lawson gets a full day in the Red Bull.
After dividing driving duties on the opening day, Lawson gets a full day of running on Thursday, before handing over to the Dutchman to conclude the test on Friday.
Elsewhere, only Williams has followed the Red Bull route of giving a driver a full day, with Carlos Sainz on-board the FW47 all day with Alex Albon benched.
The other eight teams are all continuing to split driving duties, with McLaren, Aston Martin, Racing Bulls and Stake all keeping the same order, as Ferrari, Mercedes, Alpine and Haas swap around.
