Bahrain 2004 Formula One Grand Prix


With weeks away for the first formula one race of the 2011 season in Bahrain , it is still unclear whether the race will be held or canceled due to the unrest in Bahrain. This may not be an encouraging sign for the season but the stamp released to celebrate the Bahrain's inaugural 2004 Formula One Grand Prix doesn't fail to impress the collectors. An impressive rhombus shaped sheetlet containing 5 stamps with denominations of 100,150,200,250 & 500 fils - four of them depicting a 3 dimensional model of a formula one car from different angles and another one displaying a portrait of the circuit tower. Michael Schumacher of Germany won this inaugural Grand Prix for Ferrari. Bahrain takes the pride of hosting the first Formula One Grand Prix race in the middle east. :)
