It’s a back-to-back Formula 1 week and round 3 of the Formula 1 World Championship takes us to the Gulf state of Bahrain.
For the first time in it’s 10 years of hosting F1, the Bahrain Grand Prix will be a day into night race. Which means an early evening start time. It’s going to be a very different race whereas before teams had to deal with high ambient temperatures and high track temperatures. This time will be no different but there is a bit of a twist. Teams will have to deal with a drop in temperature when the sun goes down and according to Pirelli the temperature can drop by as much as 15C.
Teams know how to deal with this as these are very similar conditions to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but this is a different track which they will need to get around.
Below is the broadcast times for the 2014 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix:
Free Practice 1: Friday 14:00
Free Practice 2: Friday 17:00
Free Practice 3: Saturday 15:00
