F1 and FIA confirm Bahrain to host 2025 pre-season testing

In the 20 years since the first Grand Prix the 5.41km circuit has delivered nine winners from five different teams, with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc all claiming victory from the current grid.

The 24-round 2025 F1 season – which will mark the sport’s 75th year – is set to kick off with the Australian Grand Prix from March 14-16 and conclude with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the weekend of December 5-7, taking in trips to five of the world’s seven continents.

As part of the continued drive in sustainability, with the sport on track to become Net Zero by 2030, a significant percentage of freight will remain in Sakhir for F1’s return ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix from April 11-13.
