Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has extended its title sponsorship of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix to 2027, underscoring its strategic vision to showcase Bahrain as a premier global destination for sports, tourism, and innovation.

 

This agreement marks the continuation of the longest-standing title partnership in Formula 1 history, a legacy of partnership that began with the historic Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix on April 4, 2004.
