Formula 1® Bahrain Grand Prix News

The 2025 Formula 1 season is set to bring thrilling action to the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix:

Race Dates and Schedule

The Bahrain Grand Prix is scheduled for April 11-13, 2025, marking the fourth championship round. This year, the race has been moved from its traditional season-opening slot to accommodate the holy month of Ramadan.

The weekend will follow the standard Formula 1 format:

• Friday, April 11: Two practice sessions
• Saturday, April 12: Final practice session and qualifying
• Sunday, April 13: Race day

Pre-Season Testing Highlights

Pre-season testing occurred at the Bahrain International Circuit from February 26 to 28, 2025. This was the sole testing opportunity before the season opener in Australia on March 16.

Notably, Lewis Hamilton, now driving for Ferrari after he departed from Mercedes, showcased impressive performance by setting the fastest lap on the second morning of testing with a time of 1:29.379. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, also demonstrated strong pace, leading the timesheets on the first day.

The testing sessions weren't without challenges. A power outage on the first day caused by an external substation failure led to a temporary halt, plunging the garages into darkness and extending the session by an hour.

Driver Movements and Team Updates

The 2025 season sees several significant driver changes:

• Lewis Hamilton: Transitioned to Ferrari, aiming for a record-breaking eighth World Championship title.
• Carlos Sainz: Moved to Williams, bringing experience to the team.
• Andrea Kimi Antonelli: The Italian rookie joins Mercedes, topping the timesheets in the first-morning testing session.
