Max Verstappen was the fastest man on track for two out of three days in Bahrain. After the speed that the Dutchman showed on Friday, that might not be surprising, but it is not that obvious. The conditions on Friday were very different from those on Sunday.
Storm has died down, but now Verstappen blows away the competition
During the first day of the winter test there was a lot of wind and even a sandstorm blew over the track in the afternoon. On Sunday the conditions were almost perfect. The weather was perfect and there was almost no wind. The current F1 cars are quite sensitive to that. Verstappen explained more about it in Red Bull Racing's press release after the last session
"It was another good day and we got through the whole program. Conditions were a bit different to day one so we had to adjust the car a bit as we went along but from our side it was very smooth, as it has been throughout the whole test.
"I think we can say it has been a good weekend but of course that doesn't give you any guarantees and all teams are doing different programs at testing."
