Bahrain Grand Prix Racing History
Of the four races held in Bahrain, Ferrari and Renault have won two each. Cars that are quick at Sakhir are not necessarily quick elsewhere which adds a little intrigue to the Grand Prix. For example, Ferrari were very fast in 2005 and 2006 but struggled poorly in the races that followed. The pitlane in Bahrain is very long which makes the time spent in the pits quite high. As a result a one stop strategy is possible and Raikkonen did exactly that in 2006 to move from last third. Drivers and machinery are often not settled in Bahrain as it is part of the flyway start to the season, and the racing is always quite good. This is helped because some of the corners allow the drivers to be a little more adventurous that usual.
