Lance Stroll has revealed that he had to get out of his car at the end of the second free practice session as his feet were burning. At the end of his session, he was heard over the team radio stating that he could not complete any more laps as he was in too much pain.

The temperatures in Bahrain were soaring today, but it is unknown whether that alone contributed to the heat at the Canadian's feet, or if there was another problem that caused him to be so uncomfortable in the car.  

"In FP1 I got into the car and immediately felt very comfortable and confident. In FP2 I was struggling with the car and we have to see if anything was wrong with it, but no worries as this was only practice. Then at the end of the session there was some burning in my feet.

"We will have to investigate to see what it was as I had to get out of the car. The positives are getting into the car in FP1 and feeling good, but we need to see what happened in FP2 as it seemed a bit of a bizarre session."

Meanwhile, Stroll's team mate Felipe Massa enjoyed his day, claiming it was a positive one with lots of useful running and looks forward to the rest of the weekend.

"It was a positive day. I’m happy with the performance of the car on the new tyres and especially the old tyres as it’s quite consistent with race simulation. We’ve shown quite reasonable performance today. We need to concentrate on everything we’ve done this evening and prepare the car even better for tomorrow evening, as well as Sunday. I’m really looking forward to a good weekend."
