The final day of Formula 1 preseason has arrived and ESPN is bringing you all the action live.

Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull have been battling for supremacy at the final week, with several subplots emerging in Bahrain.

2026 testing has seen complaints from drivers about the new cars, red flags, and proposals for rule changes.

As ever in testing, it's almost impossible to analyse form and pace from the lap times as the brand new cars rack up the miles, but comments from drivers have made their thoughts on the new technology and regulations fairly clear.

George Russell and Kimi Antonelli have set the pace so far this week, although McLaren and Ferrari have also provided a glimpse of their pace.

Follow all the latest updates and analysis from week two of testing below.
