Formula 1 returns to the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir for the fourth round of the 2025 campaign.

This crop of F1 cars already ran in Sakhir earlier this year, during three days of pre-season testing, so the Bahrain Grand Prix will represent a particularly valuable opportunity for all 10 team to verify the progress they've made.

Lando Norris and Max Verstappen enter the weekend one point apart at the top of the standings.
