What is the potential of this car? That's lunch for the drivers and we will be back in an hour for the afternoon session, which lasts for another four hours. Think most teams will still manage that but it will be a push/impossible for Haas and Mercedes. Max Verstappen ended day one of Formula One's pre-season test fastest of all, as Mercedes hit problems on the first morning. Hamilton has now clocked up 12 laps, taking Mercedes to 18 overall. F1 pre-season testing - five things to expect Formula 1 pre-season testing will be completed over a single three-day period this year in Bahrain and despite the huge carryover of parts from last season, there is plenty for you to keep an eye on. Leclerc currently leading the lap count with 21. At least before lunch in 95 minutes' time. I doubt they will be too worried at the moment but with so few days of running before the season starts every lap is extra valuable this year. Not really looking great out there. Front nose looking a little upgraded from the AT01 on the 2021 car. Vast majority of the running has been done on hard tyres with only Raikkonen, Nissany and Vettel running on anything different. Will probably be around the same time as his former team-mate. The picture is naturally a murkier one but we can at least have some idea of which teams are having a mare and which teams look to be roughly on course. Top three is possible. Ranking every F1 track in the 2021 season from worst to best: Our verdict on which should stay, go or be added. Morning report: Mercedes hit gearbox trouble on Day 1 of testing as Ricciardo puts McLaren fastest. A quick run through of the order and total laps done so far. Or at least a lap where the car is squirming quite a lot under braking. Just Leclerc and Gasly out there at the moment. Leclerc, Verstappen, Raikkonen, Nissany and Ocon. 0.748s behind Verstappen. Or at least we might not have been allowed to see them yet. 1. Formula One is back! His first lap is a 1.38.227, six seconds off Ricciardo's quickest time. Daniel Ricciardo set the benchmark time for McLaren on the opening morning of pre-season testing in Bahrain, while reigning champions Mercedes managed just a handful of laps as a gearbox issue kept Valtteri Bottas in the garage for most of the session. Perhaps they are just testing their procedures and mechanisms etc. Mick Schumacher was first up behind the wheel of the Uralkali Haas F1 Team VF-21 on the opening day of Formula 1 pre-season testing Friday at the Bahrain International Circuit. Nissany has been on softs throughout but has yet to set a lap time in his 12 laps. Not really sure what's happening but there are a lot of slow cars out on track. Carlos Sainz started the day by topping the timing charts in the first hour with his time of 1… The Williams of Roy Nissany came back out on track but ducks back into the pits again. It did happen in the final five minutes of the first session, though we assumed that was because Leclerc stopped. Hamilton has now done 27 laps, which is not a great number. Looks a little twitchy through the sweep of corners just before the final sector begins. Vettel did 51 laps in the morning and with a little delay Stroll has done 28, but his best time is only 6.5s off the quickest time. Ocon now on 15 and goes quickest this time with a 1.33.845. Track temperatures are good and the vast majority of teams come out for their installation laps. Sainz goes up into fifth in the Ferrari with a lap 1.5s off Verstappen's.

What happened? Gasly comes back into the pits having set a 1.41.743 to become the third man to set a timed lap. He crosses the line quickest of anyone in S3 too and improves his time to go quickest by 0.952s and the first man in the 1.30s. Norris will replace Ricciardo, Stroll replacing Vettel, Sainz in for Leclerc, Tsunoda replacing Gasly, Giovinazzi in for Raikkonen and Mazepin in for Schumacher, who himself only did 14 laps. And the Alpine A521 (not named after a road in Staffordshire) has taken that concept and really run with it. The top 20 F1 drivers of the 21st century: Who comes out on top in our rankings? On the hard tyre and, unless he aborts, is going to go fastest by a long way. Real Blade Runner 2049 vibes going on here. They have spent time redeveloping their power unit as well as the rear end. Could be a long and tough season for them. On the medium tyres he goes eighth with a 1.36.096. Want to know a bit more about how good Mick Schumacher is? Green... and burgundy at the back. REVEALED: Mercedes' secret floor breaks cover as the W12 hits the track at testing. Vettel still stranded at the end of the pit lane, it seems going by the driver tracker. Gets a bit twitchy into the final corner and just misses out on first place. The cars are expected to have lost some lap time with the changes to the aerodynamic regulations, but we are some way off any kind of meaningful lap time. The location has been moved, too, with Bahrain hosting the action as opposed to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Roy Nissany, of Williams, has done 73 laps which is comfortably his longest session in an F1 car. VSC was in place until the end. Sounded a bit ropey down the pit straight and then never really got going again towards turn four and he pulls over at the most sensible spot at the end of the straight. May as well... Charles Leclerc has stopped on track at turn four. Verstappen ends it quickest ahead of Norris and Ocon. #F1Testing pic.twitter.com/A2Zwz41A9J. Frustrating day no doubt for Mercedes. 0.042s off Ricciardo's time. Most drivers are close to 40 apart from Nissany (19), Schumacher (7) and Bottas (1). He did that on the hard tyres, FYI. Alpineâs Esteban Ocon was the last driver within a second of Ricciardo, fourth overall. In the final hour of the afternoon, Verstappen clocked a time of 1m30.674s with medium tyres on … Here is my favourite image of the day below. Another good looking car. The feeling of being back behind the wheel is truly indescribable!! Guys, guess what... #F1Testing pic.twitter.com/eq88BUKxuh. Or that we can read too much into them. Some teams will be sharing each day, others won't. It would be a surprise if they fell back to the fifth or sixth quickest team this year but you never know until you do. 27 laps so far for him. Of course, we do not know what those tyres are, other than something Pirelli are experimenting with.

They could do with a lot of trouble-free running this afternoon. Every time. Five teams in total brought up 100 laps but Mercedes managed 35 fewer than the next worst team, Williams, after a gearbox issue early in the morning session limited Valtteri Bottas's lap count to just six. Not sure if Mercedes will re-assess how much time Bottas runs on days two and three. Though with 10 minutes remaining, he suffered a suspected power unit issue and brought out a red flag as marshals recovered his car on the entry to Turn 4. Anyway. Think it looks a bit like a Williams from 2006-2013. Meanwhile, problems for Mercedes as Bottas gets out of the car just as they were about to start running. Hard to say at this point but it doesn't really sing under the Bahrain sun at the moment. Wind definitely affecting car performance out there right now.
