The Bahrain GP is a relatively new addition to the F1 calendar. Only two teams, Ferrari and Renault, have ever won the event. Michael Schumacher won the inaugural Grand Prix in Sakhir in 2004, before Alonso went on to win for the next two years, en route to double World Championship success with Renault. For the last two years the Bahrain GP has been won by Ferrari’s Felipe Massa. Watch F1 live online at www.livef1.net to see if a new team can join the list of Bahrain GP winners.
The Bahrain International Circuit features vast run-off areas and a variety of challenging corners. Turns one, four and 12 offer particularly good overtaking opportunities. Set in the desert the circuit often has sand blown across it, resulting in an additional challenge for the F1 drivers as they battle low grip levels.
