Kimi Raikkonen topped final practice ahead of qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix for Ferrari.

Raikkonen set the pace with a 1:29.868, leading Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen by 0.525 seconds, with the Dutchman being his nearest challenger. 

Daniel Ricciardo completed a Red Bull 2-3 in third fastest, 0.584 seconds adrift of Raikkonen and trailing his team-mate by 0.059 seconds.

Lewis Hamilton, who faces a five-place grid penalty this weekend courtesy of an unscheduled gearbox change, was fourth fastest for Mercedes and was 0.023 seconds ahead of Sebastian Vettel who ended the session fifth, despite having limited running after a bargeboard failure in the early part of the session followed by an apparent engine issue in the closing stages. This meant that the four-time champion was unable to perform a qualifying run.
