Bahrain Grand Prix 2025: preview

Three GPs and a Sprint have produced four different winners, with Max Verstappen becoming the latest driver to top the podium. For all of the chaos at Red Bull, however, it's now McLaren with a driver conundrum on their hands.

The reigning champion's victory was an extraordinary one, in that he pipped Lando Norris to pole by 0.012s with the perfect lap, yet Norris never once threatened to overtake him during the race. Oscar Piastri, meanwhile, was clearly faster than his teammate, but was instructed not to pass.

It's fed a growing suspicion that Norris is the better Saturday driver, and Piastri is the better racer. That's a headache for Zak Brown, but one that could potentially cost the team a first drivers' title since 2008 if it isn't addressed quickly.

Elsewhere, both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton showed signs of improvement, and although 12th counts for nothing Yuki Tsunoda will have been relieved to match Liam Lawson's best result of the season on his Red Bull debut.

Rookie drivers Kimi Antonelli and Isack Hadjar, however, are tearing it up. Mercedes' 18-year-old prodigy is now the youngest driver with a fastest lap in F1 history, while "le Petit Prost" is living up to his nickname.

Here's all the info on where to watch F1 live streams anywhere in the world for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
