F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Prediction and Odds, Sakhir 2025

Without question, the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, also known as the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, is one of the most eagerly anticipated Grand Prix events early on in the season. Traditionally the 3rd Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season. However, the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix has occasionally been moved around, as it was in 2024 when it was the opener, and again this year when it’s been moved back to number 4.

This event has taken place 20 times in total and has seen Lewis Hamilton pick up the most wins for drivers with 5, and Ferrari pick up the most wins for Constructors, with 7.

Last year’s winner, Max Verstappen, will be looking to repeat history yet again (he also won it in 2023). However, some questions have been raised among pundits about whether Verstappen will be able to maintain his dominance from 2025 after things dropped off a little for the young star last year.

Here’s a look at what we can expect from the F1 Bahrain 2025 Grand Prix.

2025 Bahrain F1 Grand Prix Predictions, Course Details, and Drivers

F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Prediction Sakhir Course Details

The F1 Bahrain Grand Prix will take place on April 13 at the Bahrain International Circuit.

Held in Sakhir at the Bahrain International Circuit, this event made history back in 2004 when it became the first F1 Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East. It consists of 57 laps, stretching for 308.288 km (191.530 miles) in total. Each circuit is 5.412 km.

While we can’t predict the future, going from experience and Bahrain’s climate in general, it’s pretty safe to bet on dry conditions, warm sunshine, and moderate northerly winds. As far as potential hazards go, strong winds always threaten to whip up some sand, which can make conditions testing out on the track. On the other hand, there will be an incredibly low risk of rain.

Temperatures at this time of year range from 17C – 27C on average. We’d expect temps of 23C – 24C, though we’ll really only find out on the day.

2025 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Odds to Win — Who to Watch

With this being the first race for the 2025 season, there are a lot of unknowns we’re just going to have to wait and see, like how manufacturer car improvements pan out.

But, with that said, there’s already a lot we can take away from last year’s F1 season. And that means it’s already a safe bet to put Verstappen down as one of the favorites for hitting the podium at the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Of course, Verstappen’s not the only favorite, and there are certainly plenty of challengers that will be snapping at Versappen’s heels, including a few rising stars that are more than up to the task. So let’s take a closer look at our F1 Bahrain GP predictions.

Max Verstappen Odds

Not much needs to be said here. Verstappen completely dominated 2023, was strong in 2024, and has shown no signs that much will change this year.

Lando Norris Betting Tips

Lando Norris is the new rising star of F1 and is currently one of the favorites for the 2025 driver’s championship. If he can continue his upward trajectory, we should expect to see him beat his career-best 2024 performance of 13 podium finishes. The 2025 Bahrain GP might well be his first for 2025.

Lewis Hamilton Win Probability

While Lewis Hamilton’s 2024 season left a lot to be desired, part of the blame probably lies wth Mercedes. His move to Ferrari this year could be a new beginning in his career, so he’ll definitely be worth watching.

Charles LeClerc Podium Odds

Leclerc is entering his seventh season with Ferrari and, with Hamilton as his teammate, is poised for what could be a pivotal year. Chances are, he’ll be out for the win and certainly has the skill to deliver. Only race day will tell.

Prediction for F1 Bahrain Grand Prix 2025

The prediction for the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix 2025 is as follows:

• Lando Norris: Lando just keeps getting better. This could definitely be his first win of the year.
• Max Verstappen: There’s no reason to expect to see anything less than a podium from Verstappen in 2025, even if he has lost some of his sheen.
• Lewis Hamilton: Assuming Mercedes was at least partly to blame for Hamilton’s less-than-stellar performance, the switch to Ferrari should see him hitting the podium.

In terms of constructors, look to Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren.
