2026 Bahrain F1 pre-season test Day 6 Results

Check out the combined 2026 Bahrain F1 pre-season test Day 6 Results after morning & afternoon sessions.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc delivered a commanding performance to top the final day of Formula 1 testing in Bahrain, setting the fastest lap time of 1:31.992 in the SF-26, which stood as the quickest overall across both test weeks.

McLaren’s Lando Norris mounted a challenge in the MCL40 to slot into second, just 0.476s adrift, while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed third, over a second adrift.

Mercedes encountered mixed fortunes with Kimi Antonelli’s morning pneumatic issue triggering a brief stoppage, yet George Russell recovered admirably in the afternoon to secure fourth overall.

Alpine’s Gasly impressed in fifth, his A524 chassis demonstrating improved balance after overnight tweaks, followed by Haas’ Oliver Bearman and Audi’s Gabriel Bortoleto.

Antonelli charged to eighth despite the hiccup, edging Racing Bulls’ Arvid Lindblad who notched the day’s highest lap count at 165, while Williams’ Carlos Sainz rounded out the top ten.

Aston Martin suffered yet another underwhelming day with Lance Stroll completing just six laps with no lap time set as an engine parts shortage ensued from the battery-related issue Fernando Alonso suffered on Thursday.
