The Williams Carlos Science team driver topped the second day of Formula One experiences for the 2025 season, which is hosted by the Bahrain International Circuit “The Modern Sports in the Middle East” after recording the fastest time in the evening.
This day witnessed many surprises, the most prominent of which was the rains in the morning period, which affected the plans of the teams due to the fact that the Haas and Aston Martin teams were the only ones who brought groups of rain tires to these experiences, but with the rain stop, the teams could continue the experiences without any problems in preparation for the 75th season of the World Formula One World Championship.

While this morning period was not free of problems for the Red Bull team, the New Zealand Liam Lawson was satisfied with completing only 28 rolls, and he had to end his program early after the team discovered a technical problem in the car, which is believed to be in the power unit cooling systems, which led to the survival of the car in the garage for a long time.
But Liam Lawson could compensate for his delay because, as is the case with Carlos Science in Williams, he would participate in the entire day of this day of experiences, and their colleagues in the teams will not receive driving tasks in the evening.
The ninth place came in the interest of the driver of the Cake Sober Niko Holkenberg team, while the Haas team continues with the presence of Esteban Okun in the last position in the interest of the American team, 3.6 seconds from the forefront in the morning period, in light of the team’s focus in conducting experiments with a large amount of fuel to find the ideal balance of the car.
