The 26-year-old Dutch driver, winner of a record 19 of 22 races last season, was top of the morning session with a lap quicker than the fastest effort on the first day at the same Sakhir circuit last year.
His time of one minute and 32.548 seconds in the morning sunshine compared to 1:32.837 last year.
