Valtteri Bottas completed the fewest laps of any driver on the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain, as a gearbox problem ruined his first stint in the car.

The day was not so smooth for Bottas' team mate though, with Lewis Hamilton bringing out the red flags in the morning after spinning his W12 at Turn 13 and beaching the car in the gravel trap.
