CELIA MARTIN’s FP3 Crash Adds Drama to WEC’s Championship-Deciding Bahrain Test

November 7, 2025

• CELIA MARTIN’s crash during FP3 brought out a red flag and interrupted what was already a challenging practice session at Bahrain International Circuit. The incident added another layer of drama to a weekend where teams are struggling to gather representative data due to the unusual schedule and track conditions that don’t fully match race requirements.
• While the crash details weren’t elaborated on, Martin’s incident came during a session already compromised by interruptions, including a Full Course Yellow caused by a drone incident. This practice disruption particularly hurts teams trying to dial in their setups for a championship-deciding race where tire management will be absolutely crucial on one of the calendar’s most punishing tracks.
• The timing couldn’t be worse for gathering race-critical data, as FP3 was held in daylight conditions that don’t reflect the nighttime finale. Teams are heading into the season’s most important race with limited understanding of how their cars will behave during the cool night phase that will likely decide championships, making every practice minute even more valuable.
