The desert is hot and the engines are hotter – the Bahrain Grand Prix will return in 2026!
In 2004, the Bahrain International Circuit hosted the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East. Since then, the Bahrain Grand Prix has been a regular on the calendar and became a night since 2014.
Lewis Hamilton holds the record for most wins in the Sakhir desert, with 5 victories to his name. In 2025, Oscar Piastri crossed the finish line first. Who will be celebrating in 2026 when the chequered flag is waved in Bahrain?
