Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has set the fastest time on the opening day of the in-season test at Bahrain International Circuit this week. He posted a 1:31.358, which opened up a six tenths gap to the rest of the field. McLaren managed to do only 17 laps after a full power unit change was needed due to a water leak in the Energy Recovery Systems. Red Bull Racing did just 45 laps after Daniel Ricciardo stopped in Turn 1 in the afternoon.
