Bahrain Grand Prix Qualifying: When To Watch

The Bahrain Grand Prix is a unique challenge for drivers and teams. It's a rear-limited circuit layout, which means a lot of hard braking into corners and hard acceleration out of them. Bahrain is particularly harsh on rear tires, and degradation will play a big role in the race. The race usually takes place on Sunday, but in 2024, it was held on Saturday instead due to Ramadan. The qualifying session for the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix took place on Friday, March 1, 2024, at 7:00 pm local time. This was an unusual schedule, as most races have their qualifying sessions on Saturday.
