World champion Max Verstappen returns to driving duties for Red Bull on the final day of 2025 pre-season testing in Bahrain.
Having sat out Day 2 with Liam Lawson given a full day aboard the RB21, Verstappen comes back in to round out the running before the season-opener in Australia.
As on Day 2, Williams are following Red Bull's example, with Alex Albon getting a full day, with Carlos Sainz's testing over after an impressive Thursday showing.
Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton will see out testing for Ferrari by climbing back into the SF-25 in the afternoon session as team-mate Charles Leclerc gets the morning shift, with Hamilton having opened the running on both Wednesday and Thursday.
UPDATE: Aston Martin have reported that Lance Stroll was not feeling too well overnight, and so Fernando Alonso is in the car this morning - completing all three morning shifts.
An update on the driver for the afternoon will be made later in the day.
