Questions and answers about the Bahrain Grand Prix

What's up? Last year's winner Vettel won the race three times - once more than Hamilton. A special feature in Bahrain are, of course, the high temperatures. However, the race will only start after sunset - when it should have cooled down a bit. The second free practice session, which also takes place in the evening hours, is particularly important and should provide important insights into the correct setup. Where do you drive? The Bahrain International Circuit is located about 30 kilometers outside the capital Manama, in Sakhir - in the middle of the desert. In addition to heat, small sand and dust particles in the transmission, engine and cooling inlets or on the brake pads can cause problems for cars. This can quickly lead to a defect. The course of the race on the 5,412 km long circuit is likely to be different from Australia: the track provides different grip, different cornering speeds and, last but not least, longer straights that offer more opportunities for overtaking maneuvers. Who is favorite? In Australia, Hamilton was the strongest driver in the field in the Mercedes, but missed out on victory due to a software error. Under normal circumstances, the Silver Arrows will be fighting for victory again in Bahrain. However, Ferrari could cause bigger problems for the world champion team, the Italians scored points on the straights in Melbourne. What is the situation in the country? Still tense. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch recently again pointed out human rights violations in Bahrain. Freedom of expression is restricted and the opposition is suppressed. The situation deteriorated further in 2017, Human Rights Watch stated. In 2011 the race was canceled due to political unrest in the country.
