Rain has put a dampener on proceedings at the Bahrain International Circuit on Day 2 of 2025 F1 pre-season testing.
The Bahrain location is frequently chosen for pre-season testing because of its warmer climate compared to European locations in late February. Unexpected rain caused some teams to stay in the garages during the testing, with only Haas and Aston Martin using wet weather tires. Rain started lightly at 10:00 local time but intensified about an hour-and-a-half into the morning session lasting four hours. Haas brought Intermediates and full Wet tires, while Aston Martin had three sets of Intermediates. The other eight teams could only observe as Esteban Ocon completed a few laps around the Bahrain circuit under changing weather conditions.
