Friday morning's Formula 1 testing session in Bahrain ended in bizarre fashion as a botched race restart simulation almost led to a pile-up on the start-finish straight.
The first session of day two of pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit went off mostly without a hitch. Carlos Sainz set the quickest time of the session – though lap times are largely irrelevant at this stage with teams all on different testing setups and some hiding their car's true potential.
But it ended with a very strange moment as a red flag test almost went horribly wrong. In the final few minutes of the morning session, the teams were told that they were going to be practicing what to do in such a situation.
