F1 Results Today: Lewis Hamilton STARS for Ferrari whilst SHOCK team top the time sheets

Lewis Hamilton put in an impressive display on day two of Formula 1 pre-season testing as he continues to get to grips with his new Ferrari, but he did not top the time charts.

Instead, that honor went to a shock team, with Carlos Sainz putting in the fastest time of the day in his Williams with a 1:29.348s.

Sainz's lap time edged Hamilton by under one-tenth of a second — 0.031s.

With Hamilton's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc in third, the two Mercedes of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top five on another good day for the Brackley outfit.

Don't let McLaren's times deceive you, either. The papaya team focused on their long runs this afternoon with Lando Norris in the car, which looked very impressive compared to their rivals.

With that said, let's take a full look at Thursday's order in full.
