Mercedes and Red Bull face issues on day two of Bahrain F1 testing

Mercedes F1 team encountered problems on day two of Bahrain testing. Andrea Kimi Antonelli's W17 car suffered a power unit issue, lasting only three laps before breaking down.

Mercedes had been reliably racking up laps during the shakedown in Barcelona, but their Bahrain running has been halted on consecutive days. On Wednesday afternoon, Antonelli was limited to 30 laps due to a suspension issue.
