Official Bahrain Grand Prix 2025
On a visit to India for the next two weeks, so I can't provide build-ups right now, but let's get the thread up to discuss. This race will be interesting from the perspective of seeing if the pecking order bears any resemblance to that of testing. Or have teams moved on or was testing not really representative of the page we thought?
McLaren have a consistently quick car, but others are nipping at their heels, although so far it looks like only Verstappen can challenge them for a win. Ferrari are quite a way behind and Mercedes are fast but not quite there yet, but the papaya team have a fascinating intra-team drivers' battle that means they may not have the drivers' championship all their own way. It's fantastic to see, though.
Fred Vesti, Felipe Drugovich and Luke Browning will all be making FP1 appearances for Mercedes, Aston Martin and Williams, respectively.
