Friday marks the third and final day of the 2025 annual pre-season test before the teams pack up and prepare for the season opener in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix.
Across the last two days, there have been four different fastest drivers over the morning and afternoon sessions.
Mercedes’ Andrea Kimi Antonelli was fastest on the morning of day 1 before McLaren’s Lando Norris took top honours in the afternoon, going fastest across the day.
On Thursday, slightly impacted by rain, Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton topped the morning session, whereas Williams’ Carlos Sainz topped the overall day with the fastest test time so far: 1:29.348.
So who will be driving for whom, and when?
