Will Ferrari be faster? More overtakes + pit stops? - 2025 Bahrain GP Preview with Felipe Drugovich

Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by Aston Martin Test and Reserve Driver, Felipe Drugovich, to discuss the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

Felipe is one of a few rookies taking part in Friday’s first practice session, so how does he think hotter temperatures at the track in Sakhir will affect the race? Will we see more overtakes and more pit stops?

Plus, with just a point between championship leader Lando Norris and Max Verstappen going into round four, who’s favourite for the race win? Will qualifying be just as crucial as it was in Japan? And could Ferrari be in contention for their first Grand Prix podium of the season?
