Max Verstappen suffered a minor setback during the second day of testing in Bahrain. The Red Bull Racing driver was inside longer than hoped because of an oil leak, reports The Telegraph. Meanwhile, Verstappen's RB19 is back on the tarmac.

Verstappen completed eighteen laps when he entered the pit lane. This was not out of choice, as there appeared to be an oil leak. As a result, track time was lost, although the 25-year-old Dutchman was able to put in miles as normal in the last hour and a half.

George Russell and Mercedes also experienced problems on Friday afternoon. The Briton's W14 stalled due to hydraulics problems.
