The Bahrain Grand Prix will take place on April 13, 2025 at the Bahrain International Circuit. The free practice sessions indicate a three-way battle between Mercedes, McLarens and Ferraris. Red Bull is still miles away from the pace they want to achieve. Red Bull might end up becoming a one-hit wonder with their victory at Suzuka. Ferrari have introduced significant improvements to their floor design for the race this weekend.

The Bahrain Grand Prix has been a part of F1 since 2004 every year except 2011. F1 often chooses Bahrain as its opening race for the season. Bahrain opened the Formula 1 season last time in 2022. The race has been shifted to fourth in the current F1 calendar. Bahrain International Circuit is going to be extremely hot owing to its desert environment. The race will feature some of the hardest tyre compounds Pirelli offers.

Four wins. 13 podiums. One constructors' championship.
