“Sakhir is something of an atypical venue because of its layout
which calls for frequent hard reacceleration, making traction
performance very important, while big demands are made of
the tyres longitudinally. The surface is even more abrasive than
Shanghai, not only due to the asphalt but also because of the
sand that gets blown onto the track. Grip levels are low but tend
to pick up as the weekend progresses. The majority of the race
takes place after sunset when the conditions can become humid.”
