"During these three days, all the rubber compounds worked well and on top of that, no problems such as graining occurred. We witnessed only minor wear on the softest tire compound,”Is Island told colleagues from the portal Checkered flag.

It is always during testing difficult to determine, how fast an individual racer actually was. It is not known how many racers they had in the tanks fuel and if on the track they went to limit. But it is known to be difference between the tire mixture C2 and C3 about half a second.

Mario Isola, the boss of Pirelli, at the time could not yet say how fast the racers actually were at the tests in Bahrain.

Max Verstappen he set the fastest time of all, taking it to the rubber compound C4, but Island he cannot clearly say how fast he was Dutchman in fact. “The difference between C3 and C4 is bigger than we expected, as with the C4 mixture many racers set their fastest time,He added Italian. How fast times really are, we’ll just see on qualifications introductory races.
