16:12 That's it from us! Thanks for joining us over the past three days, we hope you enjoyed it! We'll see you for the Bahrain GP in two weeks' time - take it easy!
16:11 And here's the report from the final session: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/verstappen-fastest-on-final-f1-bahrain-test-day/5728350/
16:04
 
16:02 Is this an on-track dust-up? Raikkonen and Sainz came together at Turn 10 there, as Sainz was on a lap, and it seems that the Spanish driver was most displeased. His disappointment was immeasurable, and his day was ruined.
16:00 And that's it for pre-season testing! Verstappen top, Tsunoda 0.093s behind him, with Sainz third. Now...breathe.
15:55 Five minutes remain.
15:53 Hamilton has a tilt at a lap, but it's not phenomenal. But that's very Mercedes-like to keep a lid on the squid.
15:51 I think this might be it for quick runs, as everyone's coming in and out of the pits on each lap. But I'm willing to be proven wrong...
15:49 Red Bull's bringing Verstappen in to practice some pitstops, and the other teams seem to be following suit.
15:46 Verstappen's having another go, but finds the #9 Haas in his path at Turn 1 and immediately loses time.
15:42 So, we've just over quarter of an hour left. Any last flyers?
15:40 Sainz goes up to P3, with a 1m29.611s.
15:38 It's ol' Spinny Hamilton again, dabbing the accelerator just a little too roughly at the final corner and doing a 360 turn. He's back up and running, but was arguably going too slowly...
15:36 We won't see any more from Aston Martin today - Vettel's suffered a loss of turbo boost pressure. So, test over for the green team.
15:34 The big difference between Verstappen and Tsunoda is the second sector - the Red Bull driver has quarter of a second over the AlphaTauri.
15:32 Tsunoda does get closer to him, though, putting in a 1m29.053s on the C5.
15:31 It's a 1m28.960s for the Dutchman - displacing Tsunoda from the top of the timing boards. First man into the 1m28s, too - on the C4 tyres.
15:30 Verstappen might be about to end Tsunoda's reign here...
15:29 It's a 1m30.697s for Sainz, going P11.
15:28 Russell does a 1m30.399s to go P8, as Sainz also begins another go on C3 tyres.
