Bahrain GP 2026

FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2026

The Bahrain Grand Prix^™ made its debut in 2004 as the first F1^® race in the Middle East. It became a night race for the first time in 2014, adding a mesmerizing element to the event, and it also spent several years as the season-opener. F1^® holds its Pre-Season Testing at Bahrain International Circuit before the season gets underway. A great place to catch some sun, Bahrain is also home to a number of awe-inspiring resorts. While the number of grandstands around the track in Sakhir is limited, fans will often see a ‘duel in the desert’ thanks to the circuit’s unique setup.
