Bahrain Track Guide - by Paul_Murtagh

This year’s Formula 1 World Championships starts at the Bahrain International Circuit for the second time in 5 years. This circuit was chosen by Bernie Ecclestone to start the season due to it’s favourable time for European fans compared to Australia, and the last time it started the season in 2006 we witnessed a titanic battle between Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher, with the Spaniard coming out on top. Once again these two men dominate the headlines going into the season-opener, with Alonso switching to Ferrari, while Schumacher makes his F1 return with Mercedes. However, the debut of 3 new teams and new regulations make this a season waited with anticipation.

 

 

Where is the circuit?

 

It is based in the Manama area of Bahrain, in the centre of the country near the south. However there is little to no life around the circuit, with it being surrounded by desert, meaning that everyone has to travel a bit from the local areas to get here.

USF1 Tests Nose

As with many other parts of the car over the past few months, the nose section of the new US F1 car undergoes crash testing in Cranfield, England. The nose performs well, breaking up as it should in the test last week but the guys from the composite department in the Charlotte, NC, base, watching this video for the first time, dont know whether to laugh or cry.
