McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris set the fastest time on the first day of the three-day pre-season test in Bahrain 2025. The new batch of 2025-spec cars handled the weather challenges well, outperforming the facilities. An external substation failure caused a power outage, halting the session for over an hour. Norris topped the timesheets with a 1m30.430s on the medium tyre. Mercedes’ rookie Kimi Antonelli was quick in the morning, but Norris eventually claimed the top spot. Ferrari and Williams showed promising performances on day one as well.
