Carlos Sainz (Car 55): "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."
Max Verstappen (Car 33): "I have been to Bahrain and I've actually raced on the go-kart track next to the Formula 1 circuit. But my only 'real' experience of where we will be racing this weekend consists of one lap on a bicycle! The race is run partly at night which I'm sure will be an interesting experience for me, but in fact it's not exactly something new as I have raced go-karts at night before. What I like about night races is that the track gets cooler, which means it's faster, and this is always good!"
