"What a shame", that's how I felt. How could I have missed these stamps released in 2014 ? May be due to my waning googling skills. I don't know but indeed it was an interesting find nevertheless. A big thanks to Bahrain post for these wonderful commemorative stamps. A Formula One circuit holding races for 10 years is a miracle now-a-days. In fact these commemorative could have come earlier if the 2011 race was not cancelled due to political reasons.
A set of five stamps were issued by Bahrain post to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Bahrain International circuit. But, why 5 stamps ? Yes, Only 5 drivers have won the Bahrain Grand Prix during these 10 years. Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Jenson Button & Sebastian Vettel were those who belong to this prestigious list.
Michael Schumacher won the inauguration race in 2004 and Fernando Alonso has won the most number of races ( 3 - 2005, 2006 & 2010 ) here. Felipe Massa won in 2007 & 2008, Sebastian Vettel won in 2012 & 2013 with Jenson Button in 2009.
It's time to keep an eye on Bahrain post. :)
