The Grand Prix of Bahrain marked the first ever round of the FIA Formula 1 Championship to be held in the Middle East.

The 5.412km circuit features two DRS zones. The fastest corner is Turn 13, taken at 185km/h while the slowest is Turn 10 taken at 80 km/h. The key corner is Turn 10, a tricky off-camber, downhill left-hander. It’s important to make a clean exit because the second DRS zone follows.
