Where is the best place to see it?

In Bahrain, there are not too many viewing options since the organizers do not want to make the fans uncomfortable and send them out into the scorching desert.

The grandstand for Turns 1 and 2 is also a fantastic location where you get ample overtaking activity on both circuits.
