SAKHIRBahrain

With a name that means ‘Two Seas’, Bahrain is comprised of more than 30 islands in the Persian Gulf.

The country thrives off its “black gold”, otherwise known as oil, that has been pulled from its core since 1932. Outside of oil and racing, Bahrain is a country full of exciting attractions, fantastic weather, and restaurants sure to fill a weekend with memories.

The country has many specialties when it comes to different cuisines. The Shawarma is lamb or chicken carved from a rotating spit and wrapped in a flatbread, whereas the sambousa is a crisp pastry case filled with meat, cheese, sugar or nuts. Both iconic items can be found throughout the city at different locations such as Shawarma Xpress.

Another highlight of Bahrain is the Gold City in central Manama. This Gold City is a bling-tastic collection of jewelry shops that will catch every shoppers eye. There’s also the Bab Al Bahrain souk, one of Manama’s oldest buildings, where you can find items such as perfumes, coffee, sheesha, and more all while you barter with the local hawkers.

Attend the 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit with F1 Experiences, The Official Experience, Hospitality & Travel Programme of Formula 1, with access including driver meet-and-greets, Exclusive Pit Lane Walks and more!

LANDO NORRIS

Lando Norris may only be 19 years of age, but he is already a seasoned winner on the international motorsport stage.

Lando Norris may only be 19 years of age, but he is already a seasoned winner on the international motorsport stage. Since taking up karting at age 7, the Briton has won races and championships at almost every discipline in which he has competed.

After becoming the youngest ever karting World Champion in 2014, Norris graduated to single-seaters and kept on winning. Since 2015, he has taken titles in British Formula 4, the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand, Formula Renault and the FIA F3 European Championship.

Norris became part of McLaren’s driver development programme in early 2017 and got his first taste of an F1 car at an in-season test at the Hungaroring. He became the official McLaren test and reserve driver for the 2018 F1 season, as well as competing in the Formula 2 Championship. With one win and a string of podiums, the consistent Norris narrowly missed out on winning the 2018 F2 title to rival George Russell.

Lando Norris will make his Formula 1 debut for McLaren at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix.
