The Challenges of Bahrain in Formula One

Bahrain is now a well-worn circuit. F2 goes there regularly. So pretty much everybody, whether they're a new driver in Formula One or an experienced driver, has done countless laps of Bahrain. They know the track really well. It shortcuts some of the learning and I think also the teams talk about how it's a particular track. It's not necessarily representative of the proper demands of Formula One or where your car is at. The fast bits are kind of easy fast, you know, easy flat, especially in Formula One cars now. There isn't really that full physical test that you would get somewhere like Barcelona or even pure technical challenge that you might get somewhere like Spa.
