class="alignright size-medium wp-image-30747"/></a>Rain has fallen on all three race weekends so far this year, but we can say with some confidence that trend is set to end.</p> <p>Annual rainfall in Bahrain is around 70mm, and we are not likely to see any of that over the coming days.</p> <p>F1 has arrived at the beginning of the Bahraini summer, when temperatures are climbing towards their annual peak.</p> <p>After a sunny start on Friday, Saturday and Sunday look set to be cloudier. But this will make little difference to the temperature, which will remain in the high 20C region.</p> <p>This is slightly below what we’ve seen in recent years. In 2009 – the last time they raced on the same track configuration at Bahrain – race day air temperatures were in the mid-to-high 30s and track temperature peaked at 51C.</p> <p>The heat places an obvious demand on the drivers, though this part of the world does not feature the same punishing humidity seen in Malaysia or Singapore.</p> <p>Cooling will be a priority for the cars, and that could lead teams to make compromises on performance.</p> <p>Blustery winds can be challenging for the teams here as well. As it changes direction, teams can find themselves hitting the rev limiter at the end of Bahrain’s long straights. Getting the balance right this year will be more challenging as the teams will be using DRS here for the first time.</p> <h3>Location of the Bahrain International Circuit</h3> <p><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701if_/http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=210751350658404959599.0004af28f3a46c3b5a580&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=26.041977,50.550842&spn=0.863699,1.167297&z=9&output=embed"></iframe><br/><small>View <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=210751350658404959599.0004af28f3a46c3b5a580&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=26.041977,50.550842&spn=0.863699,1.167297&z=9&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">F1 race locations 2012</a> in a larger map</small></p> <h4>2012 Bahrain Grand Prix</h4> <p><ul class="lcp_catlist"><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/21/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-qualifying-analysis/">Red Bull race pace makes Vettel strong candidate for win</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/21/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-qualifying-pictures/">2012 Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying in pictures</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/21/questions-invisible-force-indias-qualifying-coverage/">Questions over invisible Force Indias in qualifying coverage</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/21/vettel-front-bahrain-pole-position/">Vettel back in front with Bahrain pole position</a> </li><li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/21/live-2012-bahrain-grand-prix-qualifying/">Live: 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix qualifying</a> </li></ul><br/> <strong><a href="/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/category/2012-f1-season/2012-f1-calendar/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-2012-f1-calendar/">Browse all 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix articles</a></strong></p> <p><small><em>Image © Williams/LAT</em></small></p> <div class="sharebuttons"> <p>Share this with your friends:</p> <ul> <li class="share-button"> <g:plusone width="200" size="medium" annotation="inline"></g:plusone> </li> <li class="share-button"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701js_/http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> </li> <li class="share-button"> <iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701if_/http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.f1fanatic.co.uk%2F2012%2F04%2F19%2F2012-bahrain-grand-prix-weather%2F&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=75&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=21" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none;

The Pirelli’s don’t lay so much rubber as the Bridgestone’s and wthus the track mmight be much more abrasive than normal. This will lead to very interesting scenarios as well as teams will need to cope with higher cooling. We might see KERS issues as well i guess.

As long as the weather is consistant many teams stand a better chance of nailing that optimum performance window for the tires. But for sure if too much heat becomes a reality that they can’t avoid or minimize, and compared to last weekend it hurts some teams, it could be a problem that will manifest itself for the rest of the season at hot races.

I think Mercedes will have a true test of their tire performance when they have a proper fast car right on their tail from the start. In China, Rosberg had Button, eventually, but that was not strong test as Button was slow in qualifying and his 3-stop strategy never put direct pressure on Rosberg. If the McLarens are both on form on saturday and possibly Webber is up there too, Rosberg and Schumacher are going to have the same kind of stroll.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/19/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-weather/?replytocom=993181#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-993181", "993181", "respond", "58820")">Reply</a> </div> </div> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-andrewtanner even depth-3" id="comment-993216"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/andrewtanner/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/18121/aef0618ae60ed259dfe144818957e0dc-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-18121-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="AndrewTanner"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/andrewtanner/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">AndrewTanner</a> (@andrewtanner) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/19/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-weather/comment-page-1/#comment-993216"><span class="time-since">19th April 2012, 22:50</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Yea <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/dmw/" rel="nofollow">@dmw</a> It will be interesting to see how Rosberg reacts under any pressure but now he finally has that race win under his belt I imagine he will be feeling very confident and hopefully more relaxed than he was in Australia for example.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> <a class="comment-reply-link" href="/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/19/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-weather/?replytocom=993216#respond" onclick="return addComment.moveForm("comment-993216", "993216", "respond", "58820")">Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-even depth-1" id="comment-993058"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="" rel="nofollow"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/5b28a3d899ab1c8dd5e1d25b8bf719f4?s=50&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D50&r=G" class="avatar avatar-50 photo" height="50" width="50"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> Marc said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120422072701/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/04/19/2012-bahrain-grand-prix-weather/comment-page-1/#comment-993058"><span class="time-since">19th April 2012, 15:05</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>I dont really want the race to go ahead, but if it does i will still watch.
