BAHRAIN, BAHRAIN - MARCH 02: Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull ...

(Photo by) Formula 1 heads to the Middle East for the fourth round of the 2025 season, with the Bahrain Grand Prix in Sakhir taking place from April 11-13. Lando Norris of McLaren racked up 62 points from the opening three rounds which has him sitting at the top of the drivers' standings. But he has only got a slim one-point advantage over Red Bull's Max Verstappen and is 13 points ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri. Verstappen tightened the gap after pulling off an impressive performance last weekend, having wrestled his flawed RB21 car around Suzuka to snag a magical pole position and convert it into his first win of the season and his fourth Japanese GP victory in a row. Meanwhile, Norris and Piastri wrapped up the race in second and third respectively, helping McLaren extend its lead in the constructors' championship to 111 points – 36 points clear of Mercedes and 50 points ahead of Red Bull. Heading into the second race of the first triple-header of the year this weekend, the Woking squad is all about reclaiming its early-season edge and making sure that Verstappen – or anyone else – doesn't get a leg up in their quest for a second consecutive constructors' championship and the first drivers' title since 2008. Round four of the season at Bahrain International Circuit kicks off with FP1 on Friday, April 11 at 2:30 p.m. local time, followed by FP2 later in the day at 6 p.m. On Saturday, April 12, drivers will climb into their cars for the final practice run (FP3) at 3:30 p.m. before they fight for grid positions in qualifying at 7 p.m. The 57-lap race will get underway at 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 13.

Sergio Perez hints at possible F1 return in 2026
Mexican F1 driver Sergio Perez of team Oracle Red Bull is pictured ahead of the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi Formula One race. Perez has hinted at a possible return to Formula One in 2026 as he revealed he's in talks with a few teams. Hasan Bratic/dpa Former Red Bull driver Sergio Perez has hinted at a possible return to Formula One in 2026 as he revealed he's in talks with a few teams. "There are a few very interesting projects out there. I've been approached by a few teams since Abu Dhabi (final race of 2024). Right now, the season has started so a few things will open up in the coming months," he told the F1 website in an interview published on Tuesday. Advertisement Perez said he has given himself at least six months to "get all my options on the table and make a decision on what I do next with my career. "If I find a project that motivates me fully to come back, where the team believe in me and where they appreciate my career, my experience and everything I can bring to a team, it would be very attractive to consider it," he said. The Mexican driver played a key role in helping Red Bull win the constructors' championship in 2022 and 2023. But after a poor 2024 season, he parted ways with the team in December despite having two years left on his contract. He eventually failed to find a new team for the 2025 season. "I wasn't really expecting it to happen. It only became clearer once we were in Qatar, and we started to discuss and negotiate my exit of the team. It all happened very quickly," he said.
