There were other tracks on the page if you scrolled down or looked to the right. The Bahrain F1 circuit is listed as "HARD" and below is how it is described concerning braking.
2014 FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX
Definitely one of the most demanding circuits for brakes. The races on the Sakhir track, surrounded by the desert, are characterized by high temperatures that increase mechanical grip and make it difficult to dissipate the heat generated during braking. This aspect, combined with the presence of numerous high energy braking sections which are quite close together, makes Sakhir a hard test bench for all the braking system components which are continuously stressed by the high energy forces and the hellishly hot temperatures. If the drivers want to finish the race, the high wear of the friction material is the biggest danger that must be avoided.
