Every Formula 1 team’s 2025 pre-season line-ups including when Lewis Hamilton will drive for Ferrari

Formula 1 testing is getting underway at the Bahrain International Circuit ahead of the season opener in Australia, which kicks off in the middle of March.

Teams will be given three days to test out their 2025 challengers, with eight hours each day on track permitted in split up into four hours for both the morning and afternoon.

Each of the 10 F1 teams will only bring one car to the test because bringing two doubles the workload and can cost more for the teams to ship out.

Providing there are no issues during the day or stoppages on track, each team will split their running up between both of their drivers to ensure they each get a shared amount of time in the car.

Which teams have confirmed their lineups for 2025 F1 testing?

At the time of writing, over half of the current grid has confirmed which driver will be in the car for each of the days running.

Mercedes has confirmed when Andrea Kimi Antonelli will get to run in their 2025 car, with him set to lead the days running before George Russell climbs into the car.

Ferrari has yet to confirm their plans for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, with the seven-time world champion set to get his first chance to properly drive the car after completing part of the 200km filming day allowance at Fiorano last week.

Red Bull made a slight tweak to their run plan, with Max Verstappen now set to test for all day Friday and the running to be split between him and Liam Lawson on the opening day of the test.

Each F1 team’s lineup for 2025 pre-season testing

F1 testing will be televised with each session set to start at 10am local (7am GMT) and ending at 6om local (4pm GMT). With that in mind, let’s take a look at each team’s schedule for the three days.

What tyres will each team have available during F1 pre-season testing?

F1 teams had to pre-select which tyres they wanted from the official tyre supplier, Pirelli, ahead of testing in Bahrain.

Each team can select up to 35 sets of tyres from their dry compound range and wet tyres. Bahrain has traditionally been hard on tyres, so most of the teams have opted for hard compounds as opposed to the soft tyres usually brought to street circuits.

Ferrari and Williams are the only two teams that have brought all six compounds, while Mercedes has stocked up on the C3 bringing 27 sets of that for use between their drivers.

Despite there being no rain forecasted for the three days, both Aston Martin and Haas are the only two teams to bring sets of Intermediate and full wet tyres.
