Carlos Sainz: "This track usually produces a good race and last year I remember it was one of the highlights of the season. Racing at night in a Formula 1 car will be an interesting challenge, something different, although I have competed in a GP3 night race in Abu Dhabi. The Sakhir track has got long straights that create quite a lot of overtaking opportunities. Then there's a tight middle sector that also has some high speed corners, followed by a very challenging braking point at Turn 10 I think, where it's very easy to lock up the front tyres. I've never been to Bahrain, so I don't know what to expect from the country itself".
