What this event is about
(CANCELLED) Under the desert stars, Sakhir's Bahrain International Circuit transforms into a floodlit arena for F1's traditional curtain-raiser under lights, blending endurance grit with outright pace. This 5.412km outer loop challenges with its abrasive surface, testing tire degradation and night-adapted strategies from the outset. The non-sprint format allows deliberate Friday testing of the new sustainable fuels and aero tweaks, building to Saturday's qualifying thriller and Sunday's grand prix where early points can swing title fates. Feel the electric tension as engines roar against the cool Gulf night, with grandstands alive from sunset setups to post-race fireworks—a mesmerizing kickoff to the championship chase.
