Still no time for Chandhok

Karun Chandhok (HRT), who came to Bahrain to compete in his first Grand Prix Formula 1, could leave without having completed a single lap of the circuit. There car of the Indian driver remained in his pit again during the third free practice session. He should not participate in the qualifying session, and therefore in the race, unless his team manages to prepare it on time.

His teammate, Bruno Senna, is still far from the other drivers in the field. During this third session, the Brazilian lapped in 2:04:001, almost ten seconds slower than Fernando Alonso (1?54??099).
