The teams selected sets of tires for testing

      During the tests, teams traditionally have access to all Pirelli tire sets, but this year they had to choose up to 35 sets, of which 30 can be used for three days. The choice turned out to be very interesting.

      The Bahrain circuit puts a lot of strain on the tires, and usually the three toughest compounds are chosen for this Pirelli Grand Prix. There are six available for testing, from the toughest C1, similar to last year's, to the softest C6, which will make its Formula 1 debut this year.

      The universal C3 squad has become the most in demand among the teams – the most used during the season, as in 2024. Mercedes selected the most C3 kits – 27, and Williams the least – only 15.
