F1: Sandstorm stops testing at Sakhir by Virgil Ellipse
13th Feb 2009
Testing at Sakhir in Bahrain had to be cancelled on Thursday, when another sandstorm hit the circuit.

The three teams working there had been hindered by the wind and the sand on Wednesday morning but conditions were worse on Thursday and they were unable to work at all.

Who would ever have thought that a track built in the middle of a desert would be subject to the occasional sandstorm? Although, thinking about it for a second, maybe that's why no-one ever had the bright idea of building a circuit there, until Bernie Ecclescake discovered that the locals had lots of money they wanted to give him.
