McLaren enters the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix with a remarkable record – having never won the race.
Despite being owned by the Bahraini sovereign wealth fund and participating in every grand prix at Sakhir since 2004, McLaren has never won a race at what could be considered its second home track. The team’s lack of success in Bahrain is highlighted by the absence of a podium finish since 2010, when Lewis Hamilton claimed third place due to Sebastian Vettel’s misfortune. Even though Lando Norris has finished fourth twice, McLaren has yet to achieve a victory at the circuit. On the other hand, Ferrari leads the pack with seven wins in Bahrain, followed by Mercedes with six triumphs. With the competitive MCL39 at their disposal, McLaren aims to break the curse and secure a long-awaited victory in Bahrain this weekend.
