F1 Bahrain Grand Prix 2025 preparations Underway
Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), 'The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East', hosted its annual coordination meeting today with various ministries and government agencies ahead of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025.
The gathering, held at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, reviewed the Kingdom's preparations for the mega sporting and entertainment spectacle, scheduled to take place 11 to 13 April as the fourth round of this year's FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
BIC Chief Executive Shaikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa chaired the meeting, which was also attended by BIC COO Fayez Ramzy Fayez, BIC CCO Sherif Al Mahdy, BIC Administration Director Abdulrahman Qarata, BIC Corporate Services Director Beshara Abdu Beshara, and other members of the circuit's top management.
Shaikh Salman spoke of BIC's keenness to work closely with government institutions to ensure the successful organisation of the largest and most-anticipated event in the region, which attracts record crowds each year from all over the world.
Shaikh Salman discussed all the latest arrangements and the necessary coordinated efforts for the Formula 1 weekend and thanked the officials representing Bahrain's ministries and government offices for their continuous support.
Beshara then gave a presentation on the Formula 1 weekend, detailing its most prominent activities, the organisational plan for hosting, and the procedures for receiving the participating stakeholders, officials, teams, and fans coming into Bahrain from abroad.
Beshara further explained the requirements and procedures for the efficient and orderly commute of fans to and from BIC during the race weekend. These included new plans to ensure the smooth flow of traffic, increasing the number of parking spaces to accommodate the expected rise in fan turnout, and the establishment of temporary pedestrian bridges designated for the ease and safety of fans' movement between the parking lots and the gates.
The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2025 is set to be another incredible occasion for the Kingdom, and race-goers can expect plenty of excitement both on and off the track.
Prior to the grand prix, Bahrain is also set to host three days of Formula 1 Aramco Pre-Season Testing 2025 from February 26 to 28, with the last two days open to fans. It will be the first time that all teams will have their new challengers on track together prior to the start of the new season.

Formula 1 launches new personalised mobile app and website
Formula 1® has relaunched its mobile app and website to make them easier to navigate and to allow fans to personalise their experience, accessing all the information and content they want more quickly and in a way that suits them. Within the innovative, updated F1 mobile app, fans can now curate their experience by selecting multiple drivers and teams for detailed tracking during sessions, as well as following their overall performance across the season. The redesigned homepage promotes both short-form and long-form video content and introduces new formats such as mobile-first stories and vertical video, which provide a more modern and familiar user experience and integrate best practices from across social platforms and digital entertainment products. Both redesigned platforms will also showcase content from F1 TV for fans who want to watch premium live and on-demand action, as well as key telemetry and data points from the embedded Live Timing subscription service. The ultimate F1 companions, the app and website were tested with the fan-base throughout the development, ensuring their requests were prioritised alongside all of the other enhancements. Accessibility was an important element, with video overlays enabling fans to watch content with or without sound, while the adaptive font-sizes and dark/light modes ensure content is available to the widest possible audience. The app and website changes initially focus on improved content discovery across breaking news, race and technical analysis, location guides, along with the much-loved Fantasy and Predict games, where fans can test their knowledge against each other. Future phases are now planned for the addition of a wider range of exciting content themes, as well as an enhanced F1 Unlocked membership offering.
