Carlin’s Liam Lawson became the first driver to go under 1m 42s in pre-season FIA Formula 2 Championship testing, finishing top of the leaderboard in the afternoon on Day 2 at Sakhir.
A selection of the teams opted to run a Qualifying simulation in the afternoon, but the Red Bull-backed second year driver was the only driver to break the 1m 42s barrier. Lawson’s best effort of 1:41.623 was a comfortable 0.473s ahead of Campos Racing’s Ralph Boschung and ART Grand Prix’s Theo Pourchaire, who had set identical laptimes.
Lawson’s 2021 teammate Jüri Vips had put Hitech Grand Prix on top in the earlier session, beating out Trident’s Richard Verschoor and Charouz Racing System’s Cem Bölükbaşı.
