2025 Bahrain Grand Prix

The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 13 April 2025 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the fourth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship. Oscar Piastri of McLaren converted his pole position to a victory, ahead of George Russell of Mercedes and Piastri's teammate Lando Norris. Norris remained the leader in the Drivers' Championship following his fourth podium in the first four races. With 77 points, he was three points clear of Piastri, who leapfrogged Max Verstappen for second in the championship. Russell, with a total of 63 points in fourth, closed the gap to third-placed Verstappen to six points, while Charles Leclerc improved to fifth in the standings with 32 points, overtaking Antonelli who endured his first pointless race in his campaign. Reigning Constructors' Champion McLaren (151 points) once again extended its lead in the Constructors' Championship by 58 points to Mercedes. While Red Bull and Ferrari remained in third and fourth respectively, Haas was able to overtake Williams for fifth in the standings after a strong weekend, combined with a disappointing one for Williams.
