Day two of the Atlassian Williams F1 Teams Bahrain test would see Alex Albon start the day with Carlos Sainz taking over for the afternoon session. Again the team would see their drivers complete some great mileage with 131 laps being completed. It was very much another day of learning for the team with the team starting to investigate setup options. Overall a positive day as the team continues to develop the FW48.

Matt Harman, Technical Director:
"We've done some great mileage today where we explored quite a large part of the envelope of the car, both in terms of how we drive it and energy deployment in different parts of the track. We've tried a few exploratory set-up conditions and did part of the race distance which was unfortunately then red-flagged. The positive news is we're looking good from a temperature point-of-view, meaning we can start pushing the car at full strength, and at the moment it is about making sure we understand some of the attrition. It was a second positive day for us in understanding the car - we are learning all the time and look forward to building on it on day 3."
