BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX

Bahrain has been on the F1 calendar since 2004, though the scheduled 2011 event didn't take place due to political unrest in the island nation. Hot, dry and dusty the BIC has generally provided racing of a similar nature. The circuit does possess its own unique challenges, however. The heat and sand can play havoc with engines, its layout of slow-speed corners at the end of long straight makes it one of the most severe circuits on brakes all year and the dust can cause severe tyre graining.
