The Bahrain GP Qualifying is going to decide the fate the of drivers racing in the desert on Sunday. Bahrain is known for being unpredictable and hard on tyres. The drivers were able to nurse their tyres in the cool environment of Japan one week ago. Sakhir won’t be as gracious to them. The rookies will face the intense heat of Bahrain for the first time in their career.

Formula 1 is an extreme sport and the discomfort rises by a huge margin in the boiling environment of the desert. The race is also going to take place during the night. Even though, the temperatures are expected to be cooler, tyre graining and overheating of cars will be prominent. It won’t be an exaggeration to predict an engine blowout like Daniel Ricciardo’s RB in 2015.

A smokey finish! 😱

Pirelli has already determined the tyre strategy for Bahrain GP. They have allowed teams to choose from their three hardest tyre compounds for the race. The C1, C2 and C3 tyres are Pirelli’s options for this weekend. The hard compound tyres will combat the tyre graining and overheating better. As a result, teams will be able to maintain their race pace on a better level. Why? Because, they will spend less time wondering about the tyre degradation with hard compound tyres.

Let’s go through the Qualifying TV Schedule to stay ready for the grid positions before the “duel in the desert” starts in 2025.
