F1 Testing 2025: Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz selects pecking order for new season following three-day event in Bahrain | F1 News happymamay

After the pre -season test in Bahrain, TED KRAVITz chooses from Sky SPORTS F1, which is entering into the open winning award for the season.

1. McLaren

This is the only thing that I think everyone can agree on, is that if the great Bahrain race occurs, even in these circumstances, tomorrow, it is possible that McLaren is one with Lando Norris only to shade Oscar Piaseri.

Norris was a little more positive. It is strange, because he talks to PiaSSTRI this morning, seemed a little more severe, but you never know Piastri.

But it seems that it will be two McLaren. The consensus is that they have two of the second of each roll in this field.

2. Ferrari
3. Mercedes
4. Red Ball

You can throw dust paper on Max Verstapen’s Red Bull, Mercedes, and the best Ferrari, when they get it properly.

I went to Mercedes and Ferrari as it is, then the paved pace in Red Ball is a little behind. But that depends on who leads Red Bull.

Interestingly, Mercedes believes that Ferrari is with them only, with them exactly, not even the tenth between them. Therefore, it is very accurate between Ferrari and Mercedes.

But the big question is, where does Max Versaben come there? And on a good day, with the amazing Max Versaben bosom, do you think it can overcome both Mercedes and Ferrari? This is possible.

I am not sure that Ferrari has many problems that some suggested, because Charles Licerk’s race yesterday (Thursday) was very good, and Hamilton said the car is very good.

5. Williams
6. Alpine Mountains

I am going in the Sainz race yesterday, which was solid. Albon has spent a fun time today, Williams seems a good package, and these two drivers can see that they were before the Alps. Therefore, I am going to Williams, then the Alps.

You cannot deny that Sainz-Albon will be, when it comes to the qualification of Melbourne, more than Pierre Gasly, which will be right, but Jack Duhan had a kind of test you expect from the rising that feels pressure in all areas.

7. Has

Next is the impossible choice of what Haas will get on the ground when it comes to qualifying in Melbourne. It may not be more than a little induction from some GPS numbers, and fuel correction, because we believe that they have never run at least half of the tanks, and 50 kilograms of fuel, and there is a difference like this, and those 10 kilograms worth three tenths.

You can throw three tenths of a second between the Alps, Williams-Albin, Haas, then RB, can all be covered with three tenths seconds.

Haas is a good car, Ayao Komatsu is not worried about its pace, and this is the decisive thing. When I talked to him yesterday, I said, “Don’t you need to take out fuel to see the speed?” He said, “I am not worried about speed, I think he is fine, we need to do this,” he said. So I am happy to put Haas behind the Alps and Williams directly.

8. Aston Martin
9. Bulls race

I would have gave Aston Martin the benefit of doubt, they had a very difficult day today here, Lance Stroll was sick, and his disease made Fernando Alonso go first, then Lance appeared, and he did half of the afternoon, then he had to return home again because he was sick, Fernando Alonso had returned to the lieutenant, and he certainly headed. It is an empty fabric that Aston Martin is waiting for Adrian New.

I would have given them the benefit of doubt, until I spoke to Lawrence Strol, who was leaving, congratulating him to become very, and it was like, “Yes, it is great to be very, as you know, wonderful.”

Then I reached the car point, and I said, “Oh, the car looks better.” (Ted imitates the expression of the face with the disappointment of the hope of Lawrence Nuzha). They retreated. I put them, with Fernando Alonso and Lance on a good day, before RB. I put them in the eighth, but it may be ninth.

10. Saber

It is a little improvement from last year, but they are not really this year, are they, Saber? James to do his best. It is reliable. Bortoleto and Hulkenberg will give a chance to wrap, but the points, apparently, will be very thin on the floor.

It does not have a great balance, but they can race from there. But if it is true that Aston Martin is the ninth before Saper, then the first day of Adrian Newy on Monday cannot come quickly enough.

When is the first F1 race?
