After being behind the others nine teams today's testing - and also this winter before the season - finished, he had Mick Schumacher available a track in Bahrain all to himself.
But on beginning he didn't drive, he just drove away seven rounds, but did not improve the time. He spent a good time in the team garage and many already suspected that it was again what a malfunction. But none of that. All of a sudden he was on time tables found on second place!! With time 1: 32.241 minutes was otherwise half a second thick for Verstappen, but one a second faster from a teammate Magnussen, who spent his time, which was also the fastest yesterday, in overtime testing. Otherwise, after this round, he slowly arrived in the pits, which is to be expected that he almost had empty tank.
By the way, Mick he put his time on a mixture of tires C4, which they issued to the team, Magnussen achieved this yesterday on C5. After a few extra rounds it did Mick returned to the pits. They will at Haas opted for C5 a mixture of tires and even today attacked first place? No, at Haas they opted for the test race simulations, so no improvement in time was to be expected. The German drove over 80 rounds and collected for the team important data before the inaugural race of the 2022 season at the same venue.
