Bahrain in doubt yet again

Istanbul!

 

Yeah, which is what it should have been anyway, IMO. Greedy Bernie really should know better.

 

I cant see them getting Istanbul ready in time and will be an empty venue - AGAIN! I agree that we should not go back to Bahrain but this should have been decided last year, not a few weeks before the race is due! Typical Bernie!

 

they would probably say '''oh....its too late to sell tickets for people to attend'


but who turns up to turkey anyway?

 

What about Paul Ricard instead?

I just read this on the BBC site. Call me a cucumber but can anyone tell me what this means?

 

It means the cows might get angry at Litchlake farm, with all the noise and brewing toilet facilities

 

The inconsiderate bastards.

 

I puzzled over that myself, Max. I imagine Sheikh Abdullah bin Isa Al Khalifa means you can't guarantee spectators' safety at Silverstone, either, and Bahrain is no more dangerous than anywhere else.

 

Except that it is.

 

F1 really shouldn't be going there. I don't know how much they're paying but is it really worth the risk... and thats ignoring the human factor of whats going on there.

No, Bernie owns it. Would be interesting to see if he is eager to pay the same to FOM for hosting the race at Paul Ricard as he forces other tracks to pay.

 

I've read that the drivers are comfortable with it:

 

They are all being measured for bullet proof driving gear as we speak.
