He conceived and breathed life into a vision that made Bahrain International Circuit, the first F1 circuit in the region, the Home of Motorsport in the Middle East. His Royal Highness Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain, an avid motorsports enthusiast, bet big on McLaren when the team was struggling, stuck in the middle order and not in the fine form it is today.
As his radiant smile in the images from the Dutch Grand Prix portray, he has backed a winning horse once again; especially as the team threatens the position of Red Bull and Max Verstappen and their monopoly on the numero uno spot in the drivers and constructors standings this season.
HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister commended the McLaren team for their outstanding performance and for being crowned the champions of the Dutch Grand Prix as he posed for photographs with the CEO Zak Brown and the team in the pit lane.
His Royal Highness was accompanied at the Dutch Grand Prix by the Minister of Finance and National Economy and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mumtalakat, His Excellency Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa. Mumtalakat took full ownership of the McLaren group earlier this year. An investment that seems to be paying off. Giving them their due credit, HRH the Crown Prince and Prince Minister lauded the members of Mumtalakat’s board and employees, for their commitment to meeting the Kingdom’s comprehensive development goals through its successful investments, which drive economic diversification efforts.
