One night passed, and Saturday's third practice and qualifying arrived as scheduled.
Compared to yesterday's lively Bahrain Circuit, the atmosphere in the paddock today could utterly be described as explosive.
The excitement of qualifying is ultimately incomparable to practice sessions.
The main testing goal for the third practice is qualifying simulation, with a duration of only sixty minutes.
In most cases, qualifying simulations are definitely conducted using soft red tires, as this tire compound heats up the fastest and offers the best grip.
However, sometimes due to tire quantity limitations and considering a greater strategy space for the main race, teams might opt to test using medium yellow tires or hard white tires, allowing them an extra set of tires for the main race.
