The success of the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix has, over the years, contributed to making the kingdom the focus of the motorsports world, said Information Affairs Minister.

“This has also contributed to enhancing Bahrain’s sports, tourism and media gains and confirms Bahrain’s distinguished ability to host mega international events,” said Ali bin Mohammed Al-Romaihi.

The minister affirmed that the Kingdom continues to reap the fruits of the pioneering project, BIC, which had started in 2004 thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The minister also highlighted the positive impacts of the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix on the aviation industry, transportation and tourism and its contributions to increasing the development gains attained by the kingdom under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

The minister was visiting BIC to review the media coverage of the 2022 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

The minister expressed pride in the ongoing cooperation of the Information Affairs Ministry with BIC and the relevant government departments to provide the necessary media and technical services to reporters of local and international media outlets.

Al-Romaihi further underlined the ministry’s keenness to provide a comprehensive and outstanding media coverage of the 2022 F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix through direct radio and television shows, interviews, and reports.
