F1 begins to uncover the great unknowns of the 2025 World Cup: Alonso, Sainz, Hamilton, and more

The wait time has ended. This Wednesday, International circuits of Sakirin BahrainFormula 1 preseason tests have begun, and only three days of official tests where equipment and pilots can play on current cars before the start of the championship.

This Wednesday will be the first day, and there will be an equal schedule here until Friday. Morning sessions will be held from 8am to noon, and evening sessions will be 13.00ha and 17.00h (Spanish Peninsula time), 24 in 3 days global, totaling 8 hours per day, with 24 hours to be distributed between two pilots on each team.

In that sense, each person does it in their own way, depending on their work program.

in the case of Aston MartinI’ve chosen Alonso To work at a new one from Wednesday morning AMR25 The aim is to begin to understand the car, start collecting data for their analysis at the factory, and complete planned plans to find the right setting and key to the next evolution.

Fernando has to begin to understand the real performance of the car and the actual performance of its rivals from less to less. Alonso will return to AMR25 in the second morning session on Thursday, and complete the tests in the evening session on the final day. In this session, teams usually push a little more in search of a slightly representative time.

Part of it, Williams, the new team Carlos SignsYour men will distribute differently. Your partner, Alex AlbonThe car will premiere in tests at a Wednesday morning session, with Madrid piloting in the afternoon, but the second day was completed for Carlos and the final day was Albon.

Start a hidden game

As always, it is extremely difficult to draw conclusions like the test. Teams and journalists search data to find complex answers. With a set, it is very easy to hide a tenth of a single on a specific sector, type of curve, more loaded gasoline, or less motor power and get back on track without anyone knowing it.

Only the set itself can know how to extract time by the truth of your turn and the best indicators to establish the first order of the grid.

If time doesn’t change, it’s still more difficult to interpret what happens on the track. At this point it’s colder than expected and there are more winds. Some drops could even fall on Thursday, it would already be at a height Bahrain.

Priority: Add many turns

Again, in testing, the key is to do lots of rolls, add the largest number of turns possible to collect data and check the reliability of the car. And from there, everyone will create their pool. Champion Max Verstappen will also pilot this Wednesday morning and will do it completely on the second day, but not on Friday. McClallen uses a formula that divides three days between two pilotspiestress this Wednesday morning, Norris in the afternoon, and repeats on Thursday. Meanwhile, Ferrari had not yet announced the order of the pilot’s exits. All sets of action and games begin.

Maximum equality

It starts a year of F1 that appears to be very consistent. McLaren is some of his favourites against Burstappen, who showed Red Bull on track on Tuesday without much visible change compared to 2024, and Ferrari who wants Hamilton and Leclar to succeed. Mercedes wants to take part in that fight, and Aston Martin is a redesigned car that resembles the winning concept and hopes to get closer from fifth place. The track will be a statement
