Formula One will race twice in Bahrain this year, with the second of the two events taking place on an alternative outer track layout of the Bahrain International Circuit.
Misleadingly dubbed an "oval" by F1 boss Ross Brawn several months ago, the circuit is actually a shortened version of the existing layout, which replaces the infield with a small section of fast corners across the top of the track. The outer circuit leaves the normal layout at the exit of Turn 4, goes left, right, left and right again before rejoining midway through what would usually be Turn 13.
