Why is the Bahrain Grand Prix held at night under the moonlight?

F1 Bahrain GP Live Stream, Telecast 2021 and F1 Schedule: The Bahrain international circuit is set to hold the first F1 Grand Prix of 2021.

As always, the stakes in Formula 1 are high this year; amidst all the regulations, the 10 teams have managed to present their cars to vie for their objectives.

Bahrain is the first stop for F1’s contingent out of 23 destinations, and it may signal the sign of changing tides the F1 world has been praying for since the pre-season testing as Mercedes showed some faults.

This led to Mercedes declare Red Bull as the favourites for the Bahrain race, but the Milton-Keynes team is not ready to accept the gratitude shown by their rivals and have reversed the name-calling. Therefore, Bahrain is an interesting place to see what happens ahead.
