The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race that was held on 13 April 2025 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. It was the fourth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship.
Oscar Piastri kept his pole position, while teammate Lando Norris overshot his grid slot, and as a result, was penalised for a false start. Both Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda suffered slow pit stops. The safety car was brought out on lap 32 after a collision between Tsunoda and Carlos Sainz. The collision left a large hole on Sainz's sidepod, and resulted in the latter retiring. Racing resumed on lap 35.
By lap 38, George Russell's car began exhibiting electrical issues, the first of which was a transponder failure that forced his team to override his DRS as it would not activate due to the faulty transponder. Russell then endured issues with his brake-by-wire system, then reportedly, his GPS, which failed shortly after his transponder, dashboard display, and steering wheel button controls. Despite this, Russell managed to take his car to a second-place finish, his best result of the season so far, with McLaren's Oscar Piastri winning the race and teammate Norris recovering from his penalty to finish third.
Following the race, Nico Hülkenberg was disqualified as his car's plank was discovered to be excessively worn down.
