F1 2025 Bahrain GP Saturday: Piastri On Pole As Norris Slips To Third Row

Stuart Codling and Filip Cleeren sit down to review what was a hectic Qualifying day at the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Together, they review what was Oscar Piastri's second pole position of the season, and explain how his teammate Lando Norris was so far back in comparison. There's also an explainer as to why Alex Albon was denied a chance to run in Q2 because of a track limits violation by Nico Hulkenberg, and why both Mercedes were demoted a position each due to a strange quirk with an "estimated" restart time.

And finally, there's a reaction to a downbeat Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, with the Dutchman claiming he's just "taking part" in the 2025 title fight, and Lewis apologising to his team for what he deemed a poor performance in ninth.
