Just five days after Alonso took his first win this year the paddock reconvened at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
And Ferrari has reasons to smile once again while their both drivers locked the front of the Practice 1 time sheet with Felipe Massa leading the way followed by Alonso at just 0.077s behind.
On P3 is Nico Rosberg for Mercedes just ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Paul di Resta.
