Tests – Bahrain Day 2: Maya Weug still in the lead, Doriane Pin in the pack

In this instance, the Dutch driver, entered by MP Motorsport, topped both the morning and afternoon sessions, ahead of the surprising Joanne Ciconcte and the young Alba Larsen. While the Australian driver managed to keep pace with the leader, who was within a tenth of a second of Maya Weug, Alba Larsen even came close to the record, finishing the afternoon session just 56 thousandths of a second behind.

The promising 16-year-old Dane will pilot with the support of Classic Ferrari for sale for next year, and seems to be poised to become Maya Weug's potential successor in the future in terms of performance. She, like the drivers who managed to perform well on Wednesday, had to contend with several red flags throughout the day. For example, Ella Lloyd ended her race in the gravel trap at Turn 3 in the morning, resulting in some intermittent racing.
