After three days, the winter test in Bahrain is over, but for some the concentration has gone before the checkered flag. Kimi Raikkonen and Carlos Sainz almost crashed into each other in the final laps of the test.

Crash in winter test

During the winter test every team runs its own programme and there is hardly any attention for other drivers and teams. It is mainly about looking at the times and laps driven by the teams. On track it is important to watch out for each other.

This almost went wrong at the end of the third day of testing in Bahrain, when Sainz tried to put his Ferrari next to Raikkonen's Alfa Romeo in the most difficult corner of the circuit. This went just about right, but only because the Finn pulled over in time. It could have ended much worse though, where of course it didn't have to.
