An incident at the start is not a rarity in Bahrain.

Fear that this will be another race where the tension depends on the start.

Oops, there is a cat on the track.

The second training had to be stopped on Friday because a dog was walking on the track.

Apparently just like @autodromoimola the Bahrain circuit has a cat.

When the engines started just now he / she jumped over the fence from the pitlane and disappeared into the paddock ...:
