The long winter break is finally almost over: the Formula 1 teams and drivers are already in Bahrain, which will host the first race of the new F1 campaign, after the pre-season testing session also held at the Bahrain International Circuit. The Bahrain Grand Prix once again promises a glittering show of on track racing action. Located amid Bahrain’s desert environment, the race circuit’s wide berth is perfect for passing, mixing long straights with sharp cornering in a cauldron of dry heat. The conditions push the teams to their maximum, with soaring track temperatures turning Bahrain into a true test of the driver’s mettle.
Get up to speed with everything you need to know about the Bahrain Grand Prix, the first round of the 2023 Formula 1 championship, which takes place over 57 laps of the 5.412-kilometre Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on Sunday, March 5.
