About the Circuit
Bahrain International Circuit
In 2004 the first race held in the Middle East was at Bahrain International Circuit. Since 2014, Bahrain has been held as a night race. Interestingly Pole position is not the best place to start at Bahrain; only 7 of 18 races have been won from pole. Drivers do not spray the traditional champagne on the podium, instead spraying a non-alcoholic rosewater drink. The circuit has 15 corners and 2 DRS zones.
