bahrain grand prix circuit
The 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix will be held over 57 laps of the 5.412km Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
The Bahrain Grand Prix has been the kickoff to the F1 season since 2021 and was the first Grand Prix in the Middle East when it was first held there in 2004.
Specially designed and built in relatively recent years, this circuit has the advantage of four long straights that offer excellent overtaking opportunities.
The Bahrain Grand Prix will start at 6pm local time and will be held under floodlights. Another issue that drivers have to deal with is temperature. Conditions can vary greatly in the desert region of Sakhir, giving constructors a lot of headaches when optimizing vehicle setups.
