During the final day of Formula 1 preseason testing in Bahrain, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell emerged as the fastest drivers, clocking in at 1:33.669 and 1:33.918 respectively. This day was significant as it marked the end of three days of testing before the start of the new racing season. Russell excelled in the morning session while Antonelli dominated the afternoon, achieving a time that was not only the best of the day but also the best overall from the three test days.

Lewis Hamilton, driving for Ferrari, secured the third spot with a time of 1:34.209, contributing to the competitive atmosphere as he completed a high number of laps. Hamilton's performance improved upon the previous day's pace of his teammate Charles Leclerc, who registered 1:34.273. However, Hamilton's day was not without incident, as he caused a red flag near the conclusion of the session, raising some concerns for his team.

As the F1 season approaches, the precise performances showcased during these tests will influence team strategies and driver preparations. Pérez's position ahead of Bottas reflects his competitive edge as they gear up for the races, while the rapid times set by Antonelli and Russell indicate a formidable challenge ahead for all teams involved. The anticipation builds as fans and teams alike await the official start of the championship.
