F1 News: FIA confirms 2025 F1 Bahrain Pre-Season Test Dates

Formula 1 and governing body the FIA have announced that the Bahrain International Circuit will host three days of pre-season testing in 2025 on February 26, 27 and 28.

The track has hosted pre-season testing on six separate occasions since 2009, with its consistent weather conditions, mixture of high and low-speed corners, and two long straights enabling F1 teams to gather maximum data for the campaign ahead.

Earlier this year F1 confirmed the race schedule for next season, with 24 race weekends commencing in March and running through early December. With Ramadan in March of 2025, the season will begin in Australia for the first time since 2019 before shifting to Bahrain, and then Saudi Arabia.

The only matter that was left to be settled was the schedule for pre-season testing, but now that has been confirmed. In an announcement on Monday F1 indicated that testing will occur over three days in February at Bahrain International Circuit.
