What really triggered F1's flexi-wing U-turn
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/XPB_1332641_HiRes.jpg
The biggest tech intrigue at the start of the Formula 1 season has revolved around flexi wings, concerning both a looming clampdown on movement at the front and controversy over mini-DRS designs at the rear.It is all a world away from how things ended last season, when the FIA seemed to have drawn a line under the topic after teams pushed the boundaries throughout 2024.Changes to the regulations a...

Red Bull is wasting its unique, controversial F1 driver advantage
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/SI202503220069_hires_jpeg_24bit_rgb.jpg
Liam Lawson's shortlived Red Bull career is fertile ground for much in the way of reflection. One particular side it reflects on is Red Bull's Formula 1 ecosystem, and specifically how it's made use of having four seats on the grid.Red Bull's ownership of two separate F1 teams is supposed to be a big advantage. Certainly, McLaren chief Zak Brown has banged that particular drum for a couple of year...

Is Tsunoda doomed to fail at Red Bull too?
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/XPB_1325636_HiRes.jpg
Contender number five step forward. Yuki Tsunoda is the latest Formula 1 driver attempting to walk into Max Verstappen’s perilous backyard and prove that he can handle it.Red Bull’s search for a reliable second driver alongside Verstappen since Daniel Ricciardo’s shock exit at the end of 2018 has been patchy at best and a horrendous failure at worst.
There were glimpses of Alex Albon being good...

Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have both been thrown out of the final Chinese Grand Prix classification for their cars breaching different technical rules.Here's what doomed both drivers to an embarrassing double disqualification for the team.Why Leclerc's been disqualifiedLeclerc was referred to the stewards when the FIA's F1 technical delegate Jo Bauer found his Fer...

Ferrari wins Cardile legal action to cease early Aston work
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/XPB_1230568_HiRes--1-.jpg
Ferrari has secured a legal victory in blocking its former Formula 1 chassis technical director Enrico Cardile from working for his new team Aston Martin before his period of gardening leave ends. Cardile was announced last July by Aston Martin as its new chief technical officer, and he has been due to join the squad at some point this year – even though no official start date has ever been offici...

Gary Anderson explains Red Bull's front wing experiment
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/tr-18-25-arrow-comparion-RED-BULL-RB21-FRONT-WING-TESTING-DAY-3-1.jpg
I’ve been saying for some time that I don’t understand why more Formula 1 teams don’t buy into the need for the slot gap between the tip of the nose and the forward element of the front wing.
Red Bull trialled both designs during the Bahrain test, which shows it’s important to make a comparison in the real world to understand which is the better option. In the windtunnel, the difference between...

The RB21 misconception that explains Red Bull's test troubles
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/SI202502260685.jpg
Red Bull openly confessed at the end of the Bahrain pre-season Formula 1 test that it had not had the week it wanted.Complications caused by the changeable weather conditions, niggling reliability troubles that meant it never put in a proper representative race run, and a car that looked a handful of times, all conspired to leave the impression that Red Bull was well on the backfoot.As the paddock...

Alonso's thinly-veiled warning for Aston Martin expectations

Fernando Alonso's early expectations for the 2025 Formula 1 season carry a thinly-veiled warning for Aston Martin's initial prospects.Aston Martin was difficult to read in the Bahrain pre-season test beyond looking unspectacular in F1's very compressed midfield. It seemed to register on nobody's radar as an immediate threat to Alpine and Williams, widely considered to be the fledgling benchmarks f...

How the final morning of F1 2025 pre-season testing played out
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/02/XPB_1328621_HiRes.jpg
Charles Leclerc's Ferrari was fastest on the final morning of Formula 1 2025 pre-season testing in Bahrain, edging out Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli by less than a tenth of a second.Much like during Thursday afternoon's race simulations, there was very little to separate Ferrari and Mercedes - with Antonelli just 0.077s slower on the same C3 Pirelli tyre compound.At one stage Antonelli had the fa...

Lando Norris's stunning long run on the second day of 2025 pre-season testing in Bahrain has left rivals in no doubt that McLaren has made a step with its new Formula 1 car.That race sim, run at a similar time to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli on Thursday evening, produced some eye-watering numbers with Norris over a second quicker per lap quicker in the final stint, and 31...

Sainz's plan to revamp F1 test rules that 'upset' him
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/02/XPB_1328691_HiRes.jpg
Carlos Sainz has a plan to fix Formula 1's testing rules that make him a "bit upset", after completing all the running he'll do before his first race for Williams.Teams have three days of collective testing to split between their race drivers, meaning Sainz has only had a day and a half of running to get up to speed with the FW47 in Bahrain - plus a few laps at the Silverstone shakedown earlier th...

The FIA is investigating how a bus ended up next to the track during Formula 1 testing in Bahrain on Friday, triggering the third bizarre red flag of the week.The final afternoon session at the Sakhir circuit was stopped after just seven minutes when a bus was spotted in front of the barriers on the outside of Turns Nine and 10.With Alpine's Pierre Gasly, Haas's Esteban Ocon and Racing Bull's Yuki...

Red Bull's worrying verdict on its 2025 car + our trackside take
https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/02/XPB_1328783_HiRes.jpg
Red Bull has admitted that it has not had the pre-season Formula 1 test that it had hoped for, with its new RB21 not responding how it wants.The team had targeted creating a car for this season with a wider operating window after 2024's mid-season struggles with its peaky RB20, although Max Verstappen was still able to hold off Lando Norris for the title.
But early feedback about its 2025 car fr...

With the track temperature on the final day much more typically Bahrain than the bizarrely chilly Wednesday and Thursday, the behaviour of the tyres changed, the cars were slower than yesterday but… the competitive picture remained essentially unaltered.
Even as everyone grappled with a trickier balance and greater rear tyre deg, the long runs – this time conducted at McLaren by Oscar Piastri-...

Given Ferrari had been tipped to be McLaren's main threat in the 2025 Formula 1 season, how it fared in Bahrain testing may have left some wanting.From an encouraging first day where Charles Leclerc seemed to be quite at ease with the new SF-25, the subsequent two days of running gave the impression of there being a gap between Ferrari and McLaren.
In fact, based on Lando Norris's astonishing l...

https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/02/Gulf-Air-Holidays_EMBED_120px.gif
Despite three days and 3896 laps of running in Bahrain, Formula 1 pre-season testing only produces incomplete and unreliable data for evaluating relative performance. That’s why teams and drivers will default to cliches about qualifying in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix being the first time they will get a good read.
And yet, they also invest plenty of effort in trying to get a r...

https://www.the-race.com/content/images/2025/03/XPB_1328605_HiRes-1.jpg
Over the course of three days of running in Bahrain, watching trackside from a wide range of corners allows us to build a picture of the performance and characteristics of the 10 Formula 1 cars.Regardless of runplans, the way a car behaves on track can’t be hidden or distorted. And this is why we at The Race devote so much time to watching in order to tease out the nature of these unfamiliar cars....
