Worth Watching Score

5.2

If you’re looking for late-race drama, the 2025 Bahrain GP at Sakhir isn’t it. Oscar Piastri controlled the race from the front, with George Russell and Lando Norris rounding out a podium that never felt under serious threat. A lone safety car briefly compressed the pack, but predictable pit windows and just one DNF meant the outcome stayed steady. Despite a massive 242 overtakes, most were DRS fly-bys in the midfield—worth a skim of the highlights unless you’re keen to see McLaren’s clinical execution.
