F3: Noel Leon fastest on the first day of testing

Pre-season testing for the youth series started today in Bahrain and the Formula 3 teams and drivers were the first to hit the circuit.

Surprisingly, the morning session took place in the rain, even though the Sakhir circuit is in the middle of the desert. Under these conditions, Irish MP Motorsport debutant Alex Dunne set the best time.

During the day, the tests continued on dry asphalt, the activity of the teams increased and the speeds increased noticeably, and as a result, the protocol of the first day of testing was led by another newcomer: the Mexican Noel Leon, driving from team Van Amersfoort Racing, drove his best lap in 1:46.657. However, Oliver Goethe, a representative of Campos, gave him quite a bit.

When there was very little left before the end of the first day of testing, red flags appeared on the track due to the cars of Sebastian Montoya and Peter Vishnitsky stopping on the track.

Testing will continue at 9 a.m. on Monday.
