This weekend week marks the fourth round of the 2012 F1 World Championship. After much controversy whether will be held or not by their political conflicts, FIA said was going and so will be, hopefully nothing happens that if the FIA would not be negatively affected in all this.
We come from three previous races where have won by 3 different teams: McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes. All teams will have the same car that ran in Shangai and at most some small modifications, so as to benefit the stronger teams will be the same as the above quote and the cars have more problems will remain here.
Bahrain GP: The circuit is known as Bahrain International circuit is located in the town Manama (Bahrain). This circuit was Built by the Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa as he is a motor racing fan and why he invested so much in this circuit is in the middle of the desert and his dream was to bring his kingdom f1 succeeded. As you all know last year there was no GP here, despite being included in the official FIA calendar, since for the same reasons that this year. Still, the organizer of GP paid all fees and cannot to be held.
F1 debut was in 2004 and so far the driver with more wins at this track is Spanish Fernando Alonso with 3 wins (2005,2006,2010). The circuit was designed once again by German Hermann Tilke and cost approximately $ 150 million.
Apart from hosting F1, this circuit also hosts the GP2, Formula 3 and World Championship Grand Touring. It has a length of 5.412 Km, a total of 15 turns and the circuit record Michael Schumacher has it again with its F-2004 with a time of 1:30,252, currently being viewed has been the best car in history that most of the records of the circuit remains the ferrari.
This circuit is need good top speed a lot of grip and good traction out of corners, not just what the f-2012 Ferrari here will suffer so much. See if the Mercedes team goes here such as what we saw in China were favorable to them much these conditions we will see if confirmed in Sakhir and again to be so tight all the cars that best suit the track conditions, heat, the degradation of their tires and do set-up the perfect car will have much to gain from the rest of the teams. It has everything this circuit, a long straight, a first sector which was amended in 2010 and is now an slow, slow speed curves alternating with curves that need a lot of traction and then 2 sector is fast corners and the last high speed corners.
