Lawson shows early pace at F2 test in Bahrain

Pre-season FIA Formula 2 testing at the Bahrain International Circuit overnight saw Liam Lawson finish second quickest in the morning session and eighth in the afternoon.  Fellow Kiwi Marcus Armstrong was ninth and eleventh. 

Charouz Racing System rookie David Beckmann was a surprise name at the top of the standings, beating out the more experience Christian Lundgaard in the afternoon session to top the table with a time of 1:42.844.

The two-time 2020 Formula 3 race winner looked right at home in the more powerful F2 machinery, also going faster than the morning’s top driver, Dan Ticktum.

Testing resumes tonight (9am local time)
