Sick children who were unable to attend the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix were still able to interact with drivers, teams and Formula One executives ... from their hospital wards and beds.
A virtual meetup was organised by the Royal Medical Services (RMS) and the King Hamad University Hospital (KHUH) Bahrain Oncology Centre in co-ordination with the children’s families and the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).
The children were able to talk to the teams and drivers using video communication through an automated robotic device, which also gave them the opportunity to tour the circuit virtually and watch the race.
