Bahrain last day
Today was the last day of testing at Bahrain, and the last official day of testing for the teams before the opening race in Australia.
Massa was once again the fastest man on the track, he lapped in an incredible 1m29.989s to set the fastest time all week with the new aero package on the car.
Renault had a bit of a hit and miss day. Heikki showed that the team have certainly started to find pace in the car by lapping the second fastest time with a 1m30.384s and Fisi doing a 1m30.498s. That however was not the whole story as both cars had failures that caused less track time than the team were hoping for.
Kimi was running the revised aero package from Massa’s car in the afternoon and managed to get himself into fourth spot.
The McLaren cars both seemed a little off the pace of previous days, Alonso managed fifth and de la Rossa managed seventh.

Toro Rosso announce more Speed
Scott Speed and Scuderia Toro Rosso have announced that he will be the second driver in the team in 2007.
It seems that co-owner Gerhard Berger has not been happy with Scott’s ‘Speed’ and it seems that it was not until the end of last week that Gerhard decided to give Scott a chance.
The 24 year old American is seen as an essential drive for both Red Bull and F1 in the States, and as such would have been a disaster if he did not get a drive.
