With a note released this morning, Formula 1 has made official the extension of the contract with the Bahrain Grand Prix until 2036, a maxi agreement which will therefore see the Middle Eastern track as a protagonist for at least the next 15 years. This year too, the Sakhir track will be the first to host a Formula 1 weekend, the first of the new regulatory era.
“I am happy with this agreement reached with Bahrain until 2036 – said Stefano Domenicali, president of Formula 1. Since 2004 Sakhir has hosted fantastic competitions and we are eager to return for the start of this season, ushering in a new era for our sport. Bahrain was the first Middle Eastern country to host Formula 1 and is a very special place. I would like to personally thank His Royal Highness Prince Salman and his team for their dedication and hard work during this collaboration, many years of racing await us."
“It is a great honor for Bahrain to host Formula 1 since 2004 – said Arif Rahimi, president of the circuit. We are happy to have made this commitment, aimed at consolidating our presence in the calendar also in the future. The commitment we put into motorsport has always been long-term, and I thank Stefano and the Formula 1 team for placing their trust in us."
“After 18 years of racing we are proud to have played a part in the rich history of Formula 1 – commented Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa. We want to continue building something important in the future too. The growth and interest in motorsport in Bahrain and the Middle East has seen significant momentum, with a new generation of fans embracing the sport and we are determined to continue this.”
“We are proud to witness this steady growth in the success of the Bahrain International Circuit – admitted HE Khalid Al Rumaihi, CEO of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company. Building on Bahrain's motorsports legacy, the track has hosted major regional and international sporting events, such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The contract extension until 2036 is a testament to the Kingdom's advanced infrastructure and will contribute to its continued economic growth and the creation of value for both our shareholders and the people of Bahrain."
