In 2020, in Formula 1 will be able to go through two stages in Bahrain. The Middle East kingdom expects to host the Grand Prix on November 29 and December 6. As it turned out, F1 wants to spend one of these races on the oval.
So sports director of the championship Ross Brown called the external version of the Sahir circuit with a small number of turns. This version of the track can not be considered a full-fledged oval, but among all Formula 1 racetracks, it is this version of the Bahrain track that most closely resembles classic speedways. There are several high-speed turns on it, some of which can be completed without gas discharge.
“One of the attractive characteristics of Bahrain is that the racetrack has many configurations,” Brown said in an interview with the official website of Formula 1. “So we can go there and arrange two races on different versions of the track.” Each option is FIA certified, so there will be no problems.
There is almost an oval. The race according to this version will be exciting.
Different configurations will require different settings, so teams will have to tinker with adapting to an unfamiliar route option. ”
In addition to two stages in Bahrain, Formula 1 is exploring the possibility of expanding the 2020 calendar through additional races in Europe. “There are several excellent European tracks that could become the scene of another or two Grand Prix,” Ross Brown confirmed. “But we will not announce anything yet, as negotiations are ongoing.”
And we expect that at least a few races in the second half of the season will be able to pass with the audience, so that the organizers of the Grand Prix will be able to earn on the sale of tickets. “
