I can think of better, but I can think of worse. I'd rather Bahrain hold the first race than Sepang or Valencia or, Heaven forbid, Shanghai. It's a good racing circuit with some decent corners, and it has the added bonus of it being a testing venue - they're probably going to do a big pre-season test a couple of weeks before and leave the equipment out there, which will save loads on the travel costs
I didn't find it that bad in 06. I'd rather Australia but I'd rather Suzuka held the last race and I'd rather Brazil back where it belongs at the head of the calendar, but neither are going to happen any time soon
