FormulaRapida.net has compiled a full list of F1 Bahrain Test line-up for 2025 season, with TV coverage available for fans to watch the three-day action.
Considering it is the last year of the current regulation, F1 has opted for just the sole three-day test for 2025 season in Bahrain International Circuit. But unlike last year, BIC is not to host the first round due to Ramadan. Following the test, the circus will head to Australia for the first round in mid-March.
The F1 fraternity has enjoyed a raft of car and livery launches to kick off the 2025 campaign, which included a first-ever group livery launch in O2 arena in London. The teams staged separate car launches, where some went for a low-key online reveal and some coupled it up with shakedown event.
There are several changes to drivers’ line-up in 2025 which includes the big move of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari from Mercedes. Even Red Bull has a changed line-up with Liam Lawson replacing Sergio Perez. The three-day test in Bahrain – from February 26 until February 28 – will be broadcasted live too.
Apart from the usual F1 TV, it will be available on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom. Other local regions should get the same via their local broadcasters. The morning session is to run from 10:00 to 14:00 local time (7:00-11:00 GMT) and the afternoon from 15:00 to 19:00 (12:00-16:00 GMT).
In terms of tyres, Pirelli will have C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6, with the introduction of C6, which is a softer variation specifically for the street circuits. Here confirmed driver line-ups for the official pre-season test in Bahrain:
