Liam Lawson had been allocated time in the RB21 for the entire day on Thursday, but only managed to complete 28 laps with his new team after rain and a loss of engine water pressure impacted his valuable running time.

Carlos Sainz set the fastest time of the three-day testing event so far on Thursday afternoon, with his time of 1:29.348sec the mark to beat on Friday, with eight more hours of testing to go before the 2025 season gets underway in March.

All the times of Friday's running are below for those wanting to catch the action around the world.
