F1 Testing Results Today: Sainz gets Hamilton revenge as Ferrari STUNNED by former driver

Williams driver Carlos Sainz was the surprise topper of the timesheets during Thursday's testing sessions at the Bahrain International Circuit.

The Spaniard set the fastest lap time of testing so far, with a 1:29.348, over a second faster than the fastest time on Wednesday, as Sainz completed over 120 laps in his new Williams car.

Earlier in the day, Sainz's Ferrari replacement Hamilton managed to put in the fastest lap of the morning session, a time that would remain the second-fastest of testing so far, ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc's fastest time.

The two Mercedes of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top five on another good day for the Brackley outfit, although times are not the priority for all teams during this week's testing sessions.

Thursday's morning session was affected by rain, with an hour-long delay eating into the on-track time for drivers - including Hamilton - who would not be making an appearance in the afternoon session.
