F1 25 Bahrain setup

What's the best F1 25 Bahrain setup? Early in the season, you move away from the classic locations in Melbourne and Shanghai, heading instead for the deserts in the middle east. While not a traditional track, the Bahrain GP has become a staple of the F1 calendar.

Since Bahrain is focused on long straights and high-speed sweeping corners, you'll need a different setup to most other tracks in F1 25. The racing game has various options you need to play around with to ensure you can go as fast as possible. Below are our choices for the changes you should make.

The Sakhir International Circuit was the season-opener for nearly a decade, but moved aside for Australia this year.

With its multiple DRS zones and heavy tyre wear, it is the most popular track for league racing and online lobbies. It's also one where a well-balanced setup can see midfield cars move up the grid and grab some unexpected points.

Bahrain's three DRS zones allow for close following, while its multiple heavy-traction zones lead to massive rear tyre wear.

The first and third sectors feature massive straights, but the middle sector's hairpin and sweeping changes of direction mean you can't just trim your wing like you can in Monza. Bahrain's turn 10 is also the most notorious lock-up corner in the game, so if you are struggling with the braking here we recommend dropping the brake pressure by a notch or two, or moving the front brake bias slightly higher.

We've tested this F1 25 Bahrain setup with both wheel and controller, and over a range of assist levels.
