On Thursday His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad Al-Thani became the first Qatari to drive a Formula One car when he took to the 5.3-kilometre Losail International Circuit in a Williams FW31. His Highness, who is the owner of the Al-Anabi Group of Drag Racing Teams in the US and the Middle East, completed five laps of the Qatar track.?The Williams FW31 is a remarkable vehicle, unlike any other race car I've ever driven,? he said after his run. ?Being the first Qatarian to drive a Formula One car was an amazing experience I will not forget. I am proud that I was able to experience this honour at home in the State of Qatar.?
