Ferrari and Toyota, notable absentees at last week’s test session at Barcelona, have begun three days of testing at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain.

Unsurprisingly Kimi Raikkonen topped the timesheets, over a second faster than Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer. New Toyota driver Timo Glock was less that a tenth behind Badoer, with Toyota test driver Kobayashi a further two tenths behind.
