F1 Testing 2025: Adjusting Ferrari Lewis Hamilton among key conversations while Bahrain event begins | F1 news
After last week’s spectacular launch of the Formula 1 2025 season in London, a serious job should start on Wednesday with preseason testing.
The 10 new cars will first last from Wednesday to Friday, and each day will contain two four hours sessions.
The event is the only unlimited time teams searching with their cars 2025 before the season opening, which takes place in Australia from March 14 to March 16.
Sky Sports F1 It will show every minute of live testing, with a free live stream that is available to watch on the Sky Sports app, along with live text updates.
Before the action starts, we have compiled key stories to be careful about in the Bahrain International Circle.
The battle of the title for centuries begins?
Although anyone has the fastest car, they will not necessarily become obviously obvious, there will be a lot of attention on four teams that are thought to have a chance to compete for the titles.
McLaren will go for testing as favorites for retaining a constructor championship after he will move to the title of first teams since 1998. It would be a main surprise that they were somewhere else than in the battle of victory from off.
Although some other McLaren home, since Mark is owned by the Bahrain wealth Fund, has not been kind to them in recent years, which would be strongly showing even more remarkable.
If we expect some of the continuation in the latest stages of last season, Ferrari should be considered something close to favor with McLaren after gaining constant progress during the second half of 2024.
Of course, Lewis Hamilton – more about him in the moment – will be the center of attention, but hysteria aside, Ferrari has a great chance of ending her 16 -year -old waiting on silver accessories.
Perhaps the most level garage for watching among the competitors will be the reign of World Champion Max Verstappen and Red Bull, after their Topsy-Turvy 2024 campaign.
It was difficult to say how much lunch had on the amazing decline in the season in which Verstappen regularly overcome the RB20 handling, and we should get a decent idea of whether any of these questions were resolved.
Mercedes definitely took a positive step by claiming four victories in the 2024 race, but the slow start to the season, and the great inconsistency meant that they had never been to the title picture.
If there are signs that they can compete with other front runners from off, silver arrows cannot be rejected.
Can Hamilton adapt to red?
Lewis Hamilton used to being the center of attention, but even for him, the early stages of his first season with Ferrari will attract more hype and attention than ever.
The connection between the most famous sports driver and team continues with three days that may be more important to him than any other potential title candidate.
Verstappen, McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastra, and Hamilton’s teammate Charles Leclerc are other drivers who seem to give bookmakers a realistic opportunity, but the 40-year-old rivals do not have to adapt to a new car.
Last week, Hamilton spoke about the huge challenge of adaptation after 12 years with Mercedes, even sharing his admiration for the speed that former Ferrari Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel driven to live with the Italian team.
The hope for Britain is to enjoy the SF-25 ride far more than any Mercedes cars, because this generation of regulations was introduced in 2022, but even if this is the case, there are many technical and procedural elements for it to retreat to the head.
All eyes will be on Hamilton to see if he can immediately find his feet to set a potential slope in a record eight driver title.
How will Roocki run?
Although it is discussed whether all of them are truly new, the fact is that six drivers start the F1 season on the net for the first time.
Liam Lawson was driving at 11 Grands Prix, British Oliver Bearman three, and Jack Doohan made his debut in the 2024 season in Abu Dabi. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto and Isack Hadjar Novaki are in the purest form.
Not only will these new faces bring some freshness to the Formula One network, but two of them have been set to make a big impact.
Lawson from the Red Bull Antonelli in Mercedes is likely to have a car capable of winning in races in some stage of the season and therefore will command a lot of attention.
Antonelli, who was accelerated by Silver Arrows at the age of only 18, has very high expectations to live and eagerly avoid repeating his debut for free practice, when he collapsed last year.
These three days will be of great importance, especially for less experienced members of the group, as they try to acclimatise in Formula 1.
Who will be the best of the others?
The main factor during the 2025 season will be that the last one is in line with this generation of regulations, with major changes and engine and chassis coming next year.
This means that each team will devote more resources on the network to developing a car next year than in the year in which the regulations were stable.
This could affect the midfielder, with any team that slowly triggers potentially motivated to develop in development on their Challenger 2025.
Although it is possible that a team or two could make a mistake, the feeling among drivers is that this will be the strictest season that F1 has seen for a long time, creating a potentially exciting battle for places with lower points every weekend.
Although it is a chance to crack the best four in 2026. Huge carrots, the fifth placement in 2025. He would also offer a huge impetus for several detachments.
