The Official Pre-Season Test in Bahrain concluded on Saturday night, as the teams finalised their preparations ahead of next week's season opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Despite the heat, temperatures were much cooler than on Day 2 as Sergio Perez, sporting an updated Red Bull RB18, set the early pace in the morning session. Also impressing in the morning was Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu, who traded fastest laps with Perez for a part of the session but ultimately finished in P2.
