Formula 1 teams and drivers test their new cars for three days at the Bahrain International Circuit before starting the 2025 season. A team must use its single car during testing periods and drivers need to trade driving duties with each other. Teams will distribute driving time equally between their drivers during this period to get the most value from track testing ahead of their first race in Australia.
