Formula 1: Pre-Season Testing in Bahrain

After the WEC, it’s time for Formula 1 to kick off its 2025 season. The action heads to the Bahrain International Circuit for the pre-season tests, taking place from February 26 to 28. These three days of testing are crucial for the teams and drivers, as they will only have one opportunity to test their new cars before the first race in Melbourne.

For Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto, Isack Hadjar, Jack Doohan, and Liam Lawson, it will also be a chance to work with their new teams.
The Sakhir circuit, known for its favorable weather conditions, also presents a challenging layout for the chassis and tires. This ideal setting makes Bahrain a key testing venue, allowing teams to assess their car’s new configurations and provide the first insights into the competitive landscape.
