The 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix delivered a tactical masterclass under the lights, and we’re here to untangle the tyre chaos, pit stop puzzles, and that all-important race win from pole. In this episode, we dive into how Oscar Piastri and McLaren controlled the pace up front while the rest of the field juggled strategy calls that left even the sharpest minds scratching their heads.
We reflect on some standout drives, the baffling mid-pack mayhem, and how tyre performance and track temperature played starring roles. There’s praise, concern, and plenty of opinion about Aston Martin’s race-day form, Ferrari’s resilience, and Red Bull’s very human missteps.
And of course, we look ahead to the high-speed walls of Jeddah and debate whether it’s thrilling, terrifying—or both.
Plus: 🏁 How George Russell is a dark horse championship contender 🌡️ Why tyre deg was the real winner 🚦 How Pierre Gasly caught our attention, and 🟨 which drivers still need to find their groove this season
All that and more as we wrap up race two of the season and gear up for the final leg of the triple-header. Same time, same bat channel. Don’t miss it.
