F1 2025 is the major talk in pre-season tests

After the launch of the first mass season launch of Formula 1 in London last week, meditation now turns into some more meaningful: pre-seasons testing.

As it has become traditional, the program will be staged in three days in Bahrain – Kicking will be done at 7 am on Wednesday at 7 am. Once again, it will be displayed on F1TV and Sky Sports Platform.

However, for the first time after 2020, the Bahrain is not hosting the early stages of the campaign. It presents a different challenge to the teams and is one of the points that talk before the event.

This week is a group of big subjects to follow this week.

1. Red bull’s car handling quest

The Red Bull was undoubtedly a year ago in the incident – the region was the class – being topped by a margin on the initial day and being so confident in its overall speed, he survived the concluding performance run. But most of the team’s benefits were made with the underperformance of their rivals.

Dug a little deep and the problems that hurt RB20 were already clear – along with Max Verustapane Many times away from the road in the form of a sick-hand of the car, and Sergio Perez Last year, the red bull was hitting the more regular reliability in the red bull than any other top squads.

The team has spent working in winter on the success of RB20 handling issues last year, as well as trying to get words with its rivals in terms of having a low drag rear wing.

Now, it gets a chance to see how its efforts have paid. Do not believe teams and drivers when they say “this is only test” – their software analysis of rival cars means that they know a lot that they stand at this stage of action. What happens in testing cases.

2. McLaren ends his Bahrain ‘curse’

Keeping in mind the Bahrain sovereign wealth fund, the parents of the parents are the owners of the McLaren Group, the ‘Home’ team has given a terrible time in this generation of car design rules.

Back in 2022, McLaren lost Daniel Reciardo Covid-19 for the duration of the test and a break issue was wasted Lando NorisIs running The following year, it logged in to any team’s lowest laps.

Then in 2024, its expectations increased from their amazing mid -2023 turnaround, it was quickly clear Ferrari The fuel stepped back and fuel system was disappointing swallows, which thwarted the Noris Race Simulation. In the early race here for the last three years, the team’s best result was the sixth in 2024.

However it will be another six weeks until F1 will not know that McLaren can do any better better in the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix because the constructs champion squad, the team, team how to do the team with MCL39 in this week’s test Get Its form.

It ended with a walk-off win on 2024, now it requires a smooth, fast week preparation before going to Melbourne for a back-season opener.

3. How the crooks rent in their new machines

Family, this time a year ago the F1 driver was going into a new campaign with zero movement in the line-up case. Now, the miscreants made 30% grid-although three of them fall in a special sub-class.

Liam Lawson, Oliver Bearsman and Jack Dohan have started the race for 11, three and one F1 respectively-and yet half of the new crook crop is still in the form of stand-in or temporary deals based on their appearance, Also, she never did the F1 pre-season.

But his experience at least means that they have gone through novice veins that are higher than fellow miscreants Gabriel Bortoleo, Isaac Hudger and Andrea Kimi Antonally. Last name is changing Lewis Hamilton But Mercedes And as every lap will be seen closely.

4. How Hamilton and Ferrari Back to the entire F1 spotlight dazzling

The same will be true about Antoneley’s preceding: seven-time world champion Hamilton.

Now he is making his third new beginning in F1, but, at a distance of about 5,000 miles, he logged in with McLaren in 2007 before his F1 debut and three, four-day pre-season Test F1 for F1 2013 In his Mercedes bow when he was found, this time Hamilton has just 1.5 days to be fully present with SF -25.

Given that the performance of Fiureno Filming Day was held on Pirelli’s performance tires last week – and anyway in mileage – this incident actually makes its first chance to assess how their new team and car are being piled up. Is.

Hamilton-Ferrari Alliance has been the story of the pre-season of 2025-and a strong or weak Bahrain phenomenon for both sides can also change well for the headline test well.

5. Shock development in cool tech war

Talk a lot about how teams are going to balance the development of their 2025 cars carefully, with the need to do their first challenges best under the new rules next year.

Midfield teams are likely to throw everything in this initial stage of the 2025 campaign, which after some race switching their development resources tap towards next year. Therefore, expect a lot of changes for launch-car specifications to come up with teams in the desert.

But there is also a lesson in recent F1 history that can be well relevant this week. Although a change in the aeratic rule means that the currently unveiled designs are the development of cars ending 2024, it was a similar story in 2020.

And there Mercedes shocked Barcelona Padock (who hosted the test, twice, back) …

However, anything like the DAS repeat will be quite a shock, therefore, it is worth paying attention to the figures of the speed track to see the onboard coverage and catch a glimpse of what is happening on the flexi-wing front.

It has been dropped down in 2025 Spanish Grand Prix and miles in the campaign – and there will be something that team personnel are commenting extensively this week.

6. Mercedes finally breaks the cover

This is really something that will be the day First The test begins, on 24 February with Mercedes, it was set to complete a filming day on the Bahrain track. Aston Martin will also meet Fernando Alonso And Lance walk Out in AmR25 for the same reason at the same time.

This is a break on how Mercedes has prepared for a new season in recent years when it has staged in silverstone on the same day. But, since 2022, bad design and bad weather have failed, the team has opted to do things a little differently this time.

For both Mercedes and Eston, Filming Day means both they can complete the initial installation work that usually dominate the opening of the test in the morning.

7. Testing is more important this time

As usual, teams are expected to line up your new challenges and drivers on the grid for the new season’s new season’s new season’s new season Drive to survive For the first time on Wednesday, beyond the inauguration of Pitlane. And, because the car driving the car trump everyone, many of them are sprouting aero load-papay rakes, which will be used in the early morning as photographers and videographers get in position.

But it is not just Mercedes and Eston who would like to crack with its work this week. Because, since the cars will not be left in the strict padock, FP1 does not start for the initial phase this time, teams need to squeeze in more and more laps for their engineers. Or address anything interest before sending everything in Melbourne.

After all, the season-owner switch means that they do not have an additional week before returning to the same track to use data immediately.

As the principal of the team of Racing Bulls, Laurent Frequent put it into F175 Live, “It is probably a little more difficult than (when) (when) you just test and run immediately after a week. “, So F1 fans should be treated for more laps than this week. Last year case.
