A loose drain cover at the side of the track caused a long delay to Formula 1 preseason testing for the second day in a row Friday.

The cover flew up when Red Bull's Sergio Perez drove over a curb, causing a red-flag stoppage to the morning session after just half an hour amid repairs and an inspection of the area. "Another day, another drain," Red Bull wrote on X.
