The stewards have issued formal warnings to Lewis Hamilton and Lance Stroll for overtaking their rivals in the pit lane during practice.
The drivers’ teams were also warned after both were found to have violated the race director’s instructions on how drivers should join the fast lane of the pits when leaving the garages.
Drivers are forbidden from overtaking any cars which are in the fast lane of the pits by passing through the inner lane or working lane. The rules on when a car is considered to be inside the fast lane have been tightened in recent seasons due to an increase in drivers queueing at the pit lane exit anticipating the beginning or resumption of a session.
The stewards found both Hamilton and Stroll “overtook several cars in the fast lane whilst traversing the working lane to the practice start area” during the second practice session. Stroll did so following the second red flag and Hamilton did after the third.
The race director’s notes for this event define precisely how drivers may join the fast lane and that they should not be overtaken once inside it unless their car stops with an “obvious mechanical problem.”
“Any car(s) driven to the end of the pit lane prior to the start or restart of a free practice session [or] qualifying session must form up in a line in the fast lane and leave in the order they got there,” the instruction explains.
“A car will be considered to be ‘in the fast lane’ when a tyre has crossed the solid white line separating the fast lane from the inner lane, in this context crossing means that all of a tyre should be beyond the far side, with respect to the garages, of the line separating the fast lane from the inner lane.”

“After the start or restart of a free practice session [or] qualifying session, if there is a suitable gap in a queue of cars in the fast lane, such that a driver can blend into the fast lane safely and without unnecessarily impeding cars already in the fast lane, they are free to do so,” it adds.
“During a free practice session and qualifying session a car driving in the inner lane, parallel to the fast lane, will not be considered to have blended into the fast lane at the earliest opportunity.”

Charles Leclerc and Lance Stroll have avoided grid penalties after being investigated by stewards following Friday’s sprint race qualifying session in Shanghai.
The pair were under investigation for failing to obey the maximum delta time between the Safety Car lines during the sprint race qualifying session. Both incidents occured during the second stage of the session.
The race director’s guidance for the Chinese Grand Prix states: “For the safe and orderly conduct of the event, other than in exceptional circumstances accepted as such by the stewards, any driver that exceeds the maximum time from the Second Safety Car Line to the First Safety Car Line on any lap during and after the end of the sprint qualifying and qualifying session, including in-laps and out-laps or during reconnaissance laps when the pit exit is opened for the sprint or race, may be deemed to be going unnecessarily slowly.”
Drivers are routinely noted for failing to adhere to this guidance during qualifying sessions, but the stewards typically note they had no alternative but to breach the maximum time as they had to slow down to let other cars past.
Leclerc was cleared as the stewards ruled he backed off after being told to let Lewis Hamilton past by his team. His race engineer Bryan Bozzi told him during SQ2: “Can we swap the cars, please?” After checking the order Leclerc replied: “I’ll do it but we’ve never done that and I’m in the shit here.”
After speaking to Leclerc and a Ferrari representative, the stewards determined he did not drive “unnecessarily slowly.”
“Both [Leclerc] and [Hamilton] commenced their preparation laps close to each other,” they noted. “Hamilton followed Leclerc closely and Leclerc had [Stroll] ahead of him on a preparatory lap. Leclerc had to wait for [Stroll] to commence his push lap and in the meantime, Leclerc was overtaken by Hamilton on the orders of the team.

“Leclerc at all times maintained a reasonable speed and ultimately sought to create a reasonable gap behind Hamilton. All of this was done in an orderly fashion and no car behind Leclerc was affected by this. Therefore, Leclerc did not impede other drivers and gained no sporting advantage by his course of action.
“The stewards therefore determine that Leclerc did not drive “unnecessarily slowly”, and that evidently the reason he was above the maximum time was due to his appropriate actions and take no further action.”
The stewards ruled Stroll only exceeded the time limit because Lando Norris overtook him during his lap, and the Aston Martin driver backed off in order to ensure he had a sufficient gap ahead of him.
“When [Stroll] commenced a preparation lap, he was overtaken by [Norris] who was completing a push lap,” the stewards explained. “Stroll followed Norris at a reasonable speed and then overtook Norris.
“While Stroll continued to drive at a reasonable speed, he was overtaken by Norris between turns 10 and 11. Stroll explained that his push lap would have been compromised if he had not then slowed to create a reasonable gap behind Norris. He explained that in the circumstances he considered the best course was to stay behind Norris maintaining a reasonable distance. Having done so, Stroll exceeded the delta time by approximately six seconds.
“The evidence showed that Stroll stayed at or above speeds necessary to stay below 1:54.0 around the vast majority of the circuit. In this case Stroll’s ability to stay below 1:54.0 was compromised by NOR’s overtake. No car behind Stroll was affected because the two cars following Stroll were on in-laps. Therefore, Stroll did not impede other drivers and gained no sporting advantage.

“Stroll maintained a reasonable distance of Norris. The stewards therefore determine that Stroll did not drive ‘unnecessarily slowly’, and that evidently the reason he was above the maximum time was due to his appropriate actions and take no further action.”
In both cases the stewards noted neither driver delayed a rival while also exceeded the maximum time limit. This was a bone of contention at the Qatar Grand Prix last year, when the stewards gave Max Verstappen a one-place grid penalty for exceeding the delta time and obstructing George Russell as they prepared to start laps.
The maximum time between the Safety Car lines is set at one minute and 54 seconds for this event. The stewards confirmed there were eight other cases of drivers failing to adhere to it during sprint race qualifying which did not require investigation. Two more of these involved Stroll again and Oscar Piastri also committed two. Tsunoda, Esteban Ocon, Liam Lawson and Andrea Kimi Antonelli were the other drivers who escaped penalties for driving too slowly.

The Australian Grand Prix was a race of mixed fortunes for Aston Martin, with Lance Stroll finishing an impressive P6 and Fernando Alonso crashing out.
The Canadian, who has historically performed well in wet races, said his team made the right call to pit him when the wet weather picked up again at Albert Park.
“They were looking at the forecast and saw that it had started raining already on the other side of the track. They called me in, so I had nothing to do with it,” he admitted. “I saw everyone spinning and saw a lot of rain on my visor, so it was about staying on the track and then being on the right tire at the right time.”
Stroll said he was focused on not crashing in the tricky conditions around lap 34 when Alonso ran wide and hit the curb at turn 6. “It was a balance between pushing and going one second a lap faster with a 90% chance of crashing, or going one second a lap slower with a 50% chance of crashing,” he explained.

“There was a high level of being in the uncomfortable zone today. There were very few moments in the race where I was in a comfort zone just cruising. I was always kind of tippy-toeing around,” he added.
Despite the positive result, Stroll said the Andy Cowell- and Adrian Newey-led team still had a lot of work to do. “We have to keep pushing to make the car faster. Today was one of those races where we got a lot out of it, but we didn’t have crazy good pace,” he said.
Meanwhile, Alonso’s race was brought to an “unlucky” end after hitting gravel on track. “The incident came from nowhere, to be honest,” he said. “I was a little bit surprised about losing the car. I was not wider than any other lap. I just found a lot of gravel stuck there in the middle of the circuit, and then I spun.”
He added: “It was a very costly incident, but I don’t know really what to do differently. Let’s try to analyze it a little bit better. I think it’s a little bit of an unlucky incident.”

Posting headline lap times isn’t always a sign of true performance, and in the early 2000s, you might have even accused Williams of doing it just to keep their newly signed sponsors happy. Carlos Sainz’s fastest time on Thursday and Alex Albon’s heroics on Friday don’t necessarily mean they are now ready to challenge McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull (which, to me, looks like the competitive order at the front). However, there are genuine reasons to believe that the Grove-based team can now aim for fifth place in the constructors’ championship – which would be a massive step forward for them. — Oleg Karpov

Loser: Sauber poised to struggle

According to an old paddock saying, there are no weak teams in F1. They all have highly skilled and incredibly expensive engineers working for them, people who could just as easily be developing spacecraft – but every year, one team has to finish last.
And all signs suggest that this year, it’s going to be Sauber.
As the team continues to prepare for its transformation into Audi next year, it’s only natural that their main focus isn’t on the present when the future holds such importance. What we’ve seen in Bahrain over the past three days only reinforces that impression. — O.K.
The world champions picked up where they left off in Abu Dhabi – seemingly as the class of the field. This is based on Lando Norris’s astonishing Day 2 race simulation, putting 30s into Ferrari and Mercedes, with Charles Leclerc and Andrea Kimi Antonelli respectively, on similar programmes. Oscar Piastri then seemed to have the long-run edge on George Russell, even as temperatures went up and things got harder for the drivers on the final day.
The team is trying hard to avoid complacency – Norris and Piastri want the team to improve rear grip even around what is a typical problem in Bahrain where, finally, the ‘home’ team has gone well. — Alex Kalinauckas

Loser: The Bahrain International Circuit had a bad couple of days
Photo by: Zak Mauger / Motorsport Images
Without wishing to offend our hosts, this was a baffling and pretty bad week for the Bahrain circuit.
The power cut on day one had serious safety implications given the floodlights went out in gloomy conditions where famously headlight-less race cars were still blasting around.
There was nothing the circuit did wrong in the shambles of only two teams having wet-weather tyres to run in the rare desert rain on Day 2, but, in addition to the bus ending up in the Turns 9/10 runoff that caused a red flag as the final session started on Day 3, Motorsport.com observed a chair having been blown into another runoff earlier on the final day. This took a long time to be removed, which was concerning in the blustery conditions. An odd week, overall. —A.K.
Winner: Rookie Bearman proves to be a wise head on a young man’s body

Flying under the radar, Oliver Bearman made more headlines for spotting what Lewis Hamilton had changed on Ferrari’s steering wheel than he did for his own performances on track. And that’s precisely what the Haas team appeared to want. Bearman spent most of his time performing race simulations, doing so cleanly and without drawing any attention to the Haas car’s pace.
Reviewing the in-car footage revealed lots of early lifting ahead of Turn 1 and no stuffing the VF-25 into corners. His stealthy approach was undone only on the last day when his engine cover partially delaminated while out on track. —Stuart Codling

Lance Stroll was the driver of the least visible Aston Martin since the vanishing Vanquish in the risible James Bond movie Die Another Day – even before illness ruled him out of the final track session.
The AMR25 accomplished precious few laps over the period of the test, most accomplished by the evergreen Fernando Alonso rather than the boss’s son. It’ll be a painful debrief. — S.C.
Winner: Another vote for McLaren, but Red Bull could spring a surprise in Melbourne

In terms of race speed, McLaren was the benchmark of the week. Norris’ race sim on Thursday and Piastri’s on Friday were highly impressive, and give an indication that the team may be able to have a serious shot at the drivers’ title this year.
It is a shame that Max Verstappen did not do a complete race simulation, so Red Bull remains a bit of a question mark. And from the midfield pack it seems that Williams has progressed well, although their race pace was nowhere near as fast as their one-lap pace. — Christian Nimmervoll

Loser: Mercedes loses its mojo

From what was the top four teams of 2024, Mercedes’ long run on the final day looked the least impressive. It seems the team has lost its mojo a bit after the 2021 Abu Dhabi drama, and it will need to rebuild for 2026.
I don’t see them challenging the likes of McLaren, Verstappen and probably Ferrari on a regular basis. Further back, from a German view, the testing performance of Sauber with Nico Hulkenberg has been nothing but disappointing. I assume this will increase pressure inside the Audi camp, and it will certainly not help James Key to silence his critics in Germany. —C.N.

Lance Stroll could already know if F1 2025 will yield an upturn in form for Aston Martin as he and fellow drivers disagreed on how long they need to judge if their new car is a winner.
That means the Canadian may feel he is aware if Aston’s targets for the upcoming campaign are achievable, having run for just the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain.

The team secured back-to-back fifth-place finishes in the constructors’ championship last season but totalled just 94 points from the 24 races, having amassed 280 points a year earlier.
With Adrian Newey unable to begin his new role as managing technical partner until 1 March, all eyes will be on whether Aston can replicate its success of two years ago this time around.
Stroll, though, may already have an idea.
Asked how long it takes to know the potential of a new car, he simply replied: “Sometimes less than five laps.”
He was speaking alongside George Russell, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly at the first drivers’ press conference in Bahrain, and the trio did not seem to follow Stroll’s logic.
“I think I’m more patient,” said Ocon, who will race for Haas this season. “I wait a bit more. I wait after FP3 [in Australia] to give some answers.

“But no, really everyone goes flat out at the first qualifying, and then you know better. Of course, you start to take a little bit of information from everyone, try and dig into which run profile everyone did. And you start to build a picture.
“I’m focusing on my side of the job. And once you arrive into the first race anyway, that’s when it matters. So we’ll see. “
Russell would not comment, having been asked the question before driving the Mercedes W16 in anger for the first time.
Pierre Gasly, who alongside Ocon endured a tough start to last season with Alpine as the French pair locked out the back row of the grid for the opening race in Bahrain, had a similar outlook to his compatriot.
“Well, it took us no laps last year to know it was going to be challenging,” he said. “I guess it’s all into perspective. We always know by Q1 in Australia, then you get a better picture.”

Aston Martin has revealed the first images of its 2025 Formula 1 car – the AMR25.
The car features much changed sidepods compared to its predecessor the AMR24, while unlike Ferrari Aston Martin has stuck with a pushrod front suspension and the British squad has also applied this arrangement at the rear of its machines.
The AMR25 features a largely unchanged livery from 2024, having been first disclosed along with the colour schemes for the other nine F1 squads at F175 on Tuesday.
It comes after a disappointing year for Aston Martin, as it finished fifth in the 2024 constructors’ standings with zero podiums having claimed eight of them in 2023.
“We learnt a lot in 2024 and the team have been using that as a driving force as we head into this season with the AMR25,” said its driver Fernando Alonso.
“The competition is going to be very tight in the last year of the current regulations, but I know the team have been working hard at the AMRTC to make sure we are ready.”
His team-mate Lance Stroll added: “Everyone at the AMRTC has put in a lot of work over the winter to improve for 2025. As a team, we all want to perform well and we will continue to learn over the course of the year.
“What we are building here is such an exciting project with great tools and talented people, and 2025 is a key year for us to make progress.”
Aston Martin views the upcoming campaign as one where it must demonstrate to owner Lawrence Stroll that it will not go backwards having fallen away since the start of 2023 and in the AMR25 that its technical team has taken onboard the feedback from Alonso and Stroll Jr.
In particular, the team has wanted to address the low-speed corner handling and through-corner balance for its drivers.
The AMR25 is also the first Aston to really benefit from the team’s rebuilt and expanded factory situated across the road from British Grand Prix venue, Silverstone.
At F175, new team boss Andy Cowell – the ultra-successful ex-Mercedes engine chief – was keen to highlight to the assembled media including Autosport that the reworked factory has meant the AMR25 spent longer being designed before going into production compared to its predecessors.
This should benefit Aston Martin in its new design being that bit more mature regarding its development before even being assembled for the first time.
Alonso and Stroll will complete a filming day with the AMR25 on Monday – alongside Mercedes and its W16 challenger – in Bahrain ahead of 2025 pre-season testing starting at the Sakhir track on the 26-28 February.

Formula 1 is about to host its first-ever season livery launch party in London. Technically the event is called “F1 75 Live at The O2” — landing, as it is, at the outset of the 75th season in the sport’s history. At the centerpiece of the event, all 10 F1 teams will take their turn unveiling their car (or their car’s main livery, at least) for the 2025 season — on a stage, in a massive arena, as well as in front of a global audience of millions.
Given this is the first-ever event of it kind, the only concrete details we have are the ones we’ve been given by F1 itself.
Here’s everything you need to know about the F1 75 Live event at The O2 Arena in London:
When is the F1 75 Live event?
Everything kicks off at 5:30pm GMT, and the event is scheduled to last for five hours.
How can I watch it?
Unless you were one of the lucky few to grab arena tickets in the literal minutes before they sold out, you can watch along on F1’s YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook pages.
What is the plan for the F1 75 Live event?
Traditionally, each team pulls the covers off its new cars in their own ways: a racetrack with a few media in attendance, or in more recent (and boring) ways, as an email or social media post with a few images of the new car’s paintwork and some canned driver quotes.
This time, Formula 1 has stepped in to bring all the teams together on one night in London in front of a live audience with musical acts, streaming the show for free. Though the event is fronting F1’s 75th anniversary, think of F1 75 Live more as an opening ceremony than a birthday party.
More importantly, it’s F1’s chance to build up — and, possibly, better control — the biggest moment before cars hit the track for pre-season testing. By turning the normally workaday livery launches into a spectacle, there’s a chance to invent something of a 25th audience-friendly event in a schedule already stuffed with races. And, given the musical performances (more on those in a moment), there’s a chance to do something that’s a little more loose, and globally pop cultural, than the usual nose-down focus of a race weekend.
How will the event go?
All 20 drivers will be there, plus the team bosses — as well as, of course, the new 2025 F1 cars.
Each team will have a seven minute segment on the O2 stage to do what they wish, meaning we are in for a range of interpretations when it comes to a livery launch. It’s worth noting: in advance of F1 75 Live, we’ve already seen both Williams and McLaren unveil their car designs — but not the liveries the cars will wear. For the other eight teams, everything we see will be new.
The running order will be the reverse of last season’s constructors’ championship standings, meaning the evening will kick off with Sauber and end with McLaren.
If you’re doing the math, 10 teams multiplied by seven minutes doesn’t nearly fill up a five-hour arena-sized production. That’s where the host and musical acts come into play.
What artists are performing at F1 75 Live?

F1 finally announced the event’s musical line-up on Monday, and it’s quite the varied bill. There’s American country singer Kane Brown and rapper mgk (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly), who had a famous interaction with Sky F1’s Martin Brundle during the 2023 Sao Paulo GP that led to the two falling out.
Also performing are UK pop legends Take That, who these days perform as a trio, minus Robbie Williams.
Composer Bryan Tyler, who produced the F1 theme, will also provide the musical backdrop.
Who is hosting?
F1 75 Live Host

The main emcee for the evening is Jack Whitehall, a London-born comedian and actor who is likely unrecognisable to the rest of the world save those who have seen “Jungle Cruise.”
Of course, since this is an F1 event, we’ll also see familiar faces from its broadcast channels, including Laura Winter and Lawrence Barretto. One we won’t see: Will Buxton, who left F1 TV to join Fox Sport’s IndyCar coverage for 2025.
Is there a way to make Lewis Hamilton central to this moment?
Absolutely. The F1 75 Live event will be Lewis Hamilton’s first public appearance with Ferrari. Expect this to generate its own flurry of headlines and social posts.
What about the other 19 teams and drivers?
Every team, aside from McLaren and Aston Martin, have a new driver lineup in whole or in part, so we’ll get to see drivers wearing new uniforms and how those relationships are building up.
What’s the deal with the O2 Arena?
The O2 Arena is a large, multi-purpose arena located in east London, sitting beside the River Thames. It has the third-highest seating capacity of any indoor venue in the UK, with a capacity of 20,000. Originally it was called the Millennium Dome, but given how time operates, that quickly turned into a white elephant until sponsorship arrived from communication firm O2.
Whatever the name, the arena was (in 2023) the third-busiest music in the world, behind New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Movistar Arena in Chile. Which is to say, F1 didn’t skimp on the party’s location.

Aston Martin will unveil its AMR25 car on 23 February in an online launch, a day before it gets its first on-track run at Bahrain.
This will follow the team’s livery reveal at F1’s 75th anniversary launch event at London’s O2 Arena on 18 February, and imagery will be released across Aston Martin’s media profiles.
Both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will then drive the 2025 car in a filming day at the Bahrain International Circuit, two days before pre-season testing begins at the venue.
The AMR25 will be the fifth car launched by the team since it took the Aston Martin branding, following its short stint as Racing Point when Lawrence Stroll took over the team from Vijay Mallya in 2018.
