We kicked off our 2025 pre-season testing at the Bahrain International Circuit, following the shakedown debut of the A525 on Monday.

Pierre and Jack shared driving duties on the opening day, completing a total of 140 laps (758km). Pierre will continue testing on Thursday morning (Day 2), with Jack taking over in the afternoon.

Pierre Gasly, PM session, P6, 1:31.353secs, 72 laps:

“It’s been a solid day’s work even if our afternoon was a little interrupted with the red flag. It was good that the session was extended and we could complete our programme without missing out on any track time. The car felt good right away and I am pleased with the initial feeling at the wheel. Everything worked as expected and we began to explore different set-ups which gives us some direction for the rest of the week. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the work in the morning and targeting another productive day alongside Jack.”

Jack Doohan, AM session, P14, 1:31.841secs, 68 laps:

“After Monday’s shakedown, it’s really good to be on track again and having a full morning’s running in the A525. I enjoyed being in the car and really having a good feel for everything across various set-ups and compounds. A massive thank you to the whole team at Enstone and Viry for their work over the winter and having the car ready and prepared for this test. I’ll be supporting the team and watching closely in the morning before I am back in the car tomorrow afternoon looking to continue working through the programme.”
