15:58 Bottas on top, then - beating Gasly by 0.124s. Stroll third with a 1m30.460s, beating Norris by a tenth.
15:57 We will have some time allotted for practice starts - but that's it for the session. Testing is two-thirds complete here at Bahrain.
15:55 Oh, hello red flag.
15:55 Pitstop gaffes aside, 162 laps for Haas today - not a bad innings.
15:54 Eep - the green light went on in the Haas pitbox, but the jackman wasn't quite out of the way! Schumacher almost took the jack with him...
15:53 Latifi did his P7 laptime on the C4s, Leclerc 0.8s quicker on the C5s.
15:50 Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me... 
15:48 Leclerc also goes a smidgen faster, posting a 1m30.886s on one of the two softer compounds.
15:47 Latifi gets up to P7 on that lap, logging his 130th tour of the Bahrain circuit with a 1m31.672s time.
15:44 We've got 16 minutes remaining.
15:43 Alonso does a pitstop, collecting a used set of C2 tyres and heading off on his way. Perez does the same thing moments later. They emerge in P...sorry, this isn't a race is it?
15:40 Bottas goes fastest with a 1m30.289s on C5 tyres. gg guys, gl next year.
15:39 Perez doing a neat pitstop there, taking on new C2 tyres to carry on his running on the harder compounds. Proper race simulations now.

15:37 Stroll's gone up to fourth, logging a 1m30.693s on his 64th lap of the day.
