Worth knowing
Watch for
Two long straights run side by side, split by a tight hairpin. Watch the braking into that last corner, then the run to Turn 1, where a driver can be passed straight back.
The weather
Heat and humidity are intense here, and heavy rain can arrive with little warning.
The designer
This was the first Formula 1 circuit Hermann Tilke designed from scratch. It came back in 2026 to host the Bahrain Grand Prix.
