F1 Bahrain GP reinstated 30th October

Not sure they should have done with the current  situation out there. :-/

Quite a few people within F1 were also against it including one or two drivers. Apart from that, it's usually a pretty boring GP anyway!

That would require Bernie to consider something other than lining his pockets, so was always unlikely for it to be permanently cancelled. ::)

Ridiculous decision, and it's asking for protests to be stepped up that weekend - Bernie's made an uncharacteristic error here as I'm not sure how many sponsors want to be associated with Bahrain right now, what with all of that killing people in the streets and all  :o

Why does F1 manage to turn the spectacle into a joke every season?

Yes, I was very concerned about this matter but am now content - having heard Mr Ecclestone's reassurances on this morning's news. :y

He's a Prince amonst men, without doubt. :-* :-*

You couldn't make it up.

Maybe they could hold a second GP in Britain instead Donington maybe? ;D ;D

BBC News at One has announced it is now cancelled...
So does the F1 BBC site.

As I stated early why does F1 turn itself into a JOKE every season. ;D ;D
