We're heading to the desert for Round 4 of the season at the iconic Bahrain International Circuit—a night race that’s all about tire wear, big overtakes, and strategic chaos. In this episode, Sanjay and I break down what makes Bahrain such a challenge for teams, why Turn 10 is a driver's nightmare, and how the desert weather throws everyone a curveball.

Sanjay also brings up the tire wars and explains what the C1-C6 compound of tires means!
