Part two of the first tripleheader of the 2025 Formula 1 season is coming up in the desert of Bahrain, the fourth round of the campaign. Find out the full schedule for the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix down below.

The first three races of the season have already seen three different winners so far, with another driver also winning the only sprint race in 2025 so far to highlight the competitiveness on the grid.

Lando Norris dominated the Australian Grand Prix weekend to start off his season in fine style, with teammate Oscar Piastri then taking the Chinese Grand Prix the weekend after as McLaren laid down a marker for the rest of the grid, while Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari took a sprint race victory in Shanghai.

However, reigning world champion Max Verstappen had something to say about that, taking a superb and shocking pole position at the Japanese Grand Prix, backing that up with victory in front of Norris and Piastri.

The results so far in Sakhir

After last year saw Red Bull and Verstappen dominate proceedings, from FP2 onwards, that role went to Oscar Piastri and McLaren this year, topping the aforementioned session, FP3 and qualifying as well.

There were a couple of changes to the order created through qualifying. George Russell finished in P2 and Andrea Kimi Antonelli finished in P4 in qualifying, however, the Mercedes drivers got a one-place grid penalty to failing to follow the race director's instructions in Q2.

That meant that Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly gained a single position on the grid respectively.

Lando Norris did not have the best of Q3s and qualifying only in P6. Similarly to how things stand in the drivers' championship, where only a single point separates the Briton and Verstappen, a single position will separate them on the grid as well.

For the first time this year, Verstappen's teammate also qualified for the final session of the day in qualifying. Yuki Tsunoda will start from P10, behind Carlos Sainz and alongside Lewis Hamilton. See the full results here, and the provisional starting grid below!
