The fourth round of the season arrived swiftly, with the prestigious country of Bahrain set to host the spectacle.
The relentless schedule had the entire F1 community—drivers, teams, personnel, and even fans—constantly on the move, barely catching their breath before hopping onto the next flight.
Freight shipments were nonstop, paddocks were dismantled and rebuilt in record time, and engineers barely had a moment to analyze data before new track conditions demanded their attention.
Fatigue, tension, and excitement formed a strange combination. And, funny enough, this was only the fourth round, with sixteen more to go. And May, the new month, would contain THREE races!
That was the most integrated into a single month, and it turned out May wouldn't even be the only month with that structure on the calendar.
