MANAMA (Reuters) - Ferrari's Charles Leclerc topped the morning timesheets on the final day of Formula One's pre-season test in Bahrain on Saturday but said Red Bull remained the team to beat.

The Monegasque lapped the Sakhir circuit with a fastest time of one minute 31.024 seconds on the Pirelli C4 tyres, 0.418 quicker than Mercedes' George Russell who was using the softer C5 rubber.
