F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Expert Tips & Predictions

Venue: Bahrain International Circuit.
Race Date: 13^th April 2025

The inimitable return to form of Max Verstappen last week in Japan has given the 2025 F1 season a very open look to it, with three different winners from the first three races of the campaign. Few gave Verstappen or Red Bull any hope heading into the weekend but once again, writing off the Dutchman and his team is never too wise. McLaren got themselves into a bit of a muddle in behind, but it was podium places once more for Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, with their in-house battle set to rage for the remainder of the campaign. Bahrain is always an interesting circuit, with plenty of thrills and spills sure to be had and this feels like a significant race in the calendar here in the Gulf.

F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Race Winner

The stakes are sky high here in Bahrain, as the top drivers on the grid look to edge ahead of their rivals:

Lando Norris – $2.60

There is certainly no need for Lando Norris to panic in the race for the F1 Driver’s title for Lando Norris, but things haven’t gone to plan since an opening race win in Australia. Mistakes and muddles thinking within the team have cost Norris and McLaren precious points in subsequent races and he will be eager to get back on track in this one. Bahrain is a circuit that should suit both his driving style and the super quick McLaren car and if he gets a clear run, he will be difficult to stop.

Oscar Piastri – $3.25

From the outside, it looked as is Oscar Piastri was a little unlucky not to pick up more points in Japan last weekend and the Australian will be looking to make his case once more here in Bahrain. Gaining the full trust of the McLaren team will be his first objective, with plenty of running in his car last weekend, he was resigned to a 3^rd place finish – behind team mate Norris. That said, he has started the season well but needs to put in some more consistent showings and nothing less than a podium would do in this one.

Max Verstappen – $4.50

Not that he needed to remind anybody of his talents but in a very tough week for Red Bull, Max Verstappen came up clutch, landing a superb win in Japan – his 4^th consecutive triumph at Suzuka. A changing of the guard was mooted at the start of the season, but Verstappen demonstrated that he and Red Bull are very much in it for the long haul this season and they will be relishing their status as outsiders here in Bahrain. Verstappen loves putting the pressure on Norris and McLaren and that is what he will be aiming to do again here.

F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Top Six Finish

The stakes are high here in Bahrain, with plenty of drivers chasing down some early season points: –

George Russell – $1.20

Despite not making the headlines, Mercedes and George Russell have enjoyed a very good start to the season and the Brit will be firmly in the top 6 mix again here. He came on strong in Japan and his car looks to be working well for him.

Lewis Hamilton – $1.50

By contrast, Lewis Hamilton isn’t having the best time of it at Ferrari, and he will be looking to change the narrative here. Bahrain is a track he has tasted plenty of success at previously and cracking the top 6 would be a step in the right direction for him.

Kimi Antonelli – $1.70

As mentioned, Mercedes are going about business pretty well this term and Kimi Antonelli has shaped up well so far this term. He will be looking to keep the momentum going in Bahrain and has the car and the speed to finish in the top 6.
