Red Bull and Sergio Perez ended the final day of pre-season testing in Bahrain with the fastest lap time of 1m 30.305s. This performance came as teams tested the Pirelli soft compounds in more performance-focused runs. Perez spoke about his team’s three days of testing, stating that they had been intense but they managed to understand their car, completing their programme on each day. He also praised the team for their hard work over the winter, which resulted in a good base car.
