The morning session on the final test day in Bahrain was interrupted by a red flag. The kerbstone drain came loose at the circuit's 11th corner. Sergio Perez was at fault this time in his RB20 after he drove over it, after which the piece flew up. There was a similar event on the second day of testing.

Damage to the RB20?

Because Perez drove over this drain, when the RB20 was back in the pit box, Adrian Newey had to crawl under the car to see if the new Red Bull car had suffered any damage. Perez will drive the RB20 during the morning session, while Verstappen will take care of the afternoon part. The drivers cannot take to the track, but the clock is ticking.
