Bahrain GP 2025 Preview & Predictions
F1 | April 13 | Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir
Formula 1 rolls into Sakhir for Round 4 of the 2025 season, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive Bahrain Grand Prix in years. After 2 different winners in the opening 3 races, McLaren and Red Bull are once again the teams to beat, and the betting odds reflect just that.
📊 Who’s Favoured?
McLaren lead the market after a red-hot start to 2025. Lando Norris is the narrow favourite at 2.55, with Oscar Piastri close behind at 3.00. Both drivers have already claimed a victory this season and arrive in Bahrain full of momentum.
Norris was outstanding in Australia and backed it up with a fastest lap and P2 finish in China, despite engine issues. Piastri edged him there and followed it with a strong showing in Japan, finishing just behind Norris in P3.
But don’t forget about the reigning king of Sakhir: Max Verstappen.
🥇 The Bahrain Specialist
Verstappen has won the last two editions of this race and comes into the weekend off a dominant win in Japan, where he took pole and led from start to finish. He may be listed third in the betting at 4.20, but that’s serious value for a driver with his track record here.
He’s just one point off Norris in the drivers’ standings and could leapfrog the McLaren man with another strong result.
🔍 Betting Prediction
Only three drivers are priced under 5.00- Norris, Piastri, and Verstappen- and it’s hard to look past this trio for the podium.
I’m leaning toward Verstappen, who thrives in Bahrain and proved in Japan that he’s still a title contender. This is one of my strongest bets of the weekend.
