The 2025 Formula 1 pre-season testing in Bahrain has concluded, with all 10 teams having tested their new cars over a three-day period. The sessions, which provided valuable insight into each team’s performance, have led to a post-testing ranking, as shared by Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravitz. His detailed analysis offers a clear picture of how each team fared during the crucial pre-season tests, highlighting both strengths and areas of concern.
Throughout the testing sessions, teams pushed their new challengers to the limit, collecting critical data on reliability, pace, and handling. While it’s impossible to draw definitive conclusions from testing alone, as conditions can vary and teams are often running different programs, Kravitz’s analysis gives a strong indication of where each team stands heading into the 2025 season.
The dominant force in testing, according to Kravitz, was Team A, whose car showed exceptional pace and consistency across the three days. The team appears to have built on its 2024 performance and is set to continue its challenge at the front of the grid in the upcoming season. However, Team B, with their new car design, also made a significant impression, showing strong reliability and competitive times, although they are still a step behind the leaders.
Team C surprised many with their improved performance compared to last season. Their car appeared well-balanced and showed good pace, especially in long runs, which could make them a serious contender for podiums. On the other hand, Team D, despite having a solid car, still faces issues with overall pace and reliability, meaning they may need to make improvements before the start of the season.
Midfield teams like Team E and Team F showed mixed results. While they demonstrated potential, they are likely to face stiff competition from the stronger teams in 2025. Still, there is optimism that with further development, they could punch above their weight during the season. Team G, one of the lower-ranking teams, showed signs of struggle, with their car failing to live up to expectations, and they will need to focus on addressing technical issues ahead of the season opener.
Overall, the testing in Bahrain has offered valuable insights into the performance of the 2025 F1 cars. While it’s clear that the top teams are continuing to improve, some mid-table outfits are showing promise, and others have work to do if they hope to challenge for top positions. The real test will come once the season kicks off, but for now, all eyes are on the leading teams as the grid takes shape for 2025.
